Abstract:
Firefighters' fluid balance was measured while they attempted to suppress well-developed experimental bushfires of intensities commonly faced by hand-tool crews, and also while they built fireline in the same way without fire, during three summers in Australian eucalypt forests. They consistently sweated at rates of 1-2 kg h-1 while building fireline and at half these rates for the whole work day. Drinking and dehydration were proportional to sweat loss: on average firefighters replaced 43% of their sweat loss during fireline construction and 63% for the whole work day. During fireline construction they dehydrated at an average rate of 654 g (0.9% body mass) per hour and a maximum rate of 2 kg per hour (2.6% body mass). The scientific observers sweated less than half as much as the firefighters but also drank less and became almost as dehydrated. These findings emphasise the need for work practices that guarantee an adequate water intake before, during, and after firefighting. Regression equations are presented for predicting sweat rate (hence water requirements) from activity, fire, body mass, and air temperature.

Abstract:
In 2000, Faisal Farooq, the young head of Nirala Sweets wanted to design a new reward system for his salesforce, as part of his effort to professionalise the firm. Nirala Sweets, a 52 year-old firm, founded by Faisal's grandfather was the leading purveyor of traditional sweetmeats in Lahore, Pakistan. The national culturn, the informal manner in which the firm had been run, weak management information systems, and the behavioural complexity of his growing firm are some of the challenges he faced. He needed to think carefully about how these would impact the design and implementation of an effective salesforce reward system.

Abstract:
Syringomas are benign skin tumors of the eccrine sweat glands. The chief affected areas are lower eyelids and malar areas, however, vulvar syringoma is a relatively rare. The lesions are small, multiple, firm, yellowish colored papules and microscopically, have dilated cystic sweat ducts which have comma Iike tails resembling tadpoles. The majority of patients with vulvar syringomas are asymptomatic but sometimes associated with pruritic symptom. We repart a case of vulvar syringoma in a 55-year-old woman who presented with a intermittent pruritus with a brief review of literatures.

Abstract:
Humans, like other animals, have an excellent sense of smell that can serve social communication. Although ample research has shown that body odours can convey transient emotions like fear, these studies have exclusively treated emotions as categorical , neglecting the question whether emotion quantity can be expressed chemically. Using a unique combination of methods and techniques, we explored a dose–response function: Can experienced fear intensity be encoded in fear sweat? Specifically, fear experience was quantified using multivariate pattern classification (combining physiological data and subjective feelings with partial least-squares-discriminant analysis), whereas a photo-ionization detector quantified volatile molecules in sweat. Thirty-six male participants donated sweat while watching scary film clips and control (calming) film clips. Both traditional univariate and novel multivariate analysis (100% classification accuracy; Q 2 : 0.76; R 2 : 0.79) underlined effective fear induction. Using their regression-weighted scores, participants were assigned significantly above chance (83% > 33%) to fear intensity categories (low–medium–high). Notably, the high fear group ( n = 12) produced higher doses of armpit sweat, and greater doses of fear sweat emitted more volatile molecules ( n = 3). This study brings new evidence to show that fear intensity is encoded in sweat (dose–response function), opening a field that examines intensity coding and decoding of other chemically communicable states/traits. This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue ‘Olfactory communication in humans’.

Abstract:
The responses of four crews of 7-8 men were measured while they attempted to suppress well-developed experimental bushfires of intensities commonly faced by hand-tool crews, and also while they built fireline in the same way without fire, during three summers in dry eucalypt forests of SW and SE Australia. Average values were sweat rate 1,144 g h-1, heart rate (HR) 152 beats min-1, and rectal temperature (Tre) 38.2° C. Changes in the average temperatures of clothed and unclothed skin were negligible, indicating efficient evaporation of sweat. Firefighters considered the work 'somewhat hard', and felt 'just too warm' and 'wet' with sweat. By contrast, the responses of the scientific observers, doing less strenuous work in the same environment, were minimal: sweat rate 292 g h-1, HR 80 beats min-1, and Tre 37.6°C. Firefighters' responses were mainly due to exertion rather than fire, confirming an identical finding from measurements of their energy expenditure and thermal environment. Differences between attacks with and without fire were small in both groups (HR 8-9 beats min-1, Tre 0.1-0.2 degrees C) except for sweat rate (firefighters 401 g h-1, observers 181 g h-1), and were usually present before the attacks began. All responses were highly consistent over the four crews, three summers, and two regions. The above findings show that the firefighters worked within their capacity and paced themselves to sustain their own preferred equilibrium levels of strain. They also demonstrate the effectiveness of the firefighters' clothing and work practices.

Abstract:
The anti-sweatshop movement burst in the American public's consciousness in the 1990s. By the late 1990s, an eclectic group of 43 American NGOs and a growing number of international organizations were engaged in the movement. But, as yet, there are no rigorous empirical studies of the impact of anti-sweatshop actions on those firms accused of relying on sweated labor. This paper addresses this lacuna by using the event study technique to empirically assess the impact of public disclosure of firms' sweatshop practices on their stock prices. The paper finds that public disclosure does indeed cause firms' stock prices to fall, sometimes substantially. This, no doubt, explains the rush by these firms to voluntary codes of conduct. The paper also shows that stock prices have reacted positively (and substantially) to the actions taken by one firm, Reebok, to adopt anti-sweatshop practices. These findings appear to confirm the wisdom of the public disclosure strategies used by the movement to get firms to change behavior. But because of the potential for voluntary codes of conduct to result in opportunistic behavior, the paper concludes by arguing that public disclosure will only really work if carried out by independent third party auditors.

Abstract:
Skin-tribology is a new scientific domain where the living human skin, lubricated by sweat, cooperates duringthe motion with the non-living surface of clothing material. Such cooperation has an important influence onthe human limbs’ functioning and, consequently, on the bio-frictions and wear effects connected with humanhealth and efficiency. This paper presents new research tendencies and their applications in the contemporaryskin-tribology domain. At first, we described and documented skin-tribology connections between variousscientific domains. In a particular case, some new phenomena are illustrated occurring during the human skinbody lubrication by sweat. For example, sweat properties are considered during the flow inside a thin gapbetween tightly fitting clothing material surfaces and the skin of the human body.This paper presents the meaning and influence of many components in human sweat on dynamic sweatviscosity, health and efficiency.The main results focus on the influence of the non-Newtonian sweat features on the dynamic sweat viscosityvariations across the film thickness in the thin sweat layer and on the load carrying capacity of human limbsand the human Basal Metabolic Rate with Metabolic Age.

The Thermal Burden of High Insulation and Encapsulation in Wildland Firefighters' Clothing." International Journal of Wildland Fire 7, no. 2 (1997): 207. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/wf9970207.

Full text
Abstract:
Light, heavy, and encapsulating clothing were compared in a climatic chamber during 60 minutes of moderate exercise (energy expenditure 382-464 W) in warm, dry conditions with no added radiant heat (air and mean radiant temperature 30°C, relative humidity 33 %, air velocity 0.5 m s-1). The results showed that high insulation and reduced ventilation restricted the evaporation of sweat and thus hindered the dissipation of metabolic heat. These adverse effects were apparent in (1) a reduced cooling efficiency of sweat and hence a higher sweat rate; (2) increased heat storage, cardiovascular strain, discomfort, and fatigue; and (3) a failure to attain thermal equilibrium even after 60 minutes of work. Comparison with the effects of fire, previously reported, on lightly dressed firefighters showed that the above penalties would outweigh any benefit that extra insulation or encapsulation could confer during wildland fire suppression with hand tools.

Abstract:
Since acetylcholine is the main neurotransmitter of eccrine sweating, phosphatidylcholine ingestion might increase sweating. In 10 adults mid-palmar sweating was measured 12 hours after ingestion of a high and a low phosphatidylcholine supper. In a double blind, crossover study, mid-palmar sweating was measured in 11 consenting adults 12 hours after a low phosphatidylcholine supper taken with either lecithin or placebo. Five minutes after cleaning the palm and drying, sweat was captured in a quick-drying plastic film. The film was removed with cellophane tape and placed on a glass slide. Mean "droplet" diameter was measured by averaging the greatest diameter of 25 "droplets." Ten of 10 subjects (100%) produced more sweat with a high phosphatidylcholine meal than with a low one. Compared to placebo, 10 of 11 subjects (91%) given lecithin had significantly increased sweat secretion (p less than 0.01). It remains to be confirmed that this phosphatidylcholine-induced sweating increase is clinically significant.

The first ever English-language title devoted exclusively to the shocking, controversial and influential mondo documentary film cycle. "The Mondo Cane films were an important key to what was going on in the media landscape of the 1960s especially post the JFK assassination." J.G BALLARD Mondo Cane in 1962 was the blueprint for a shocking, controversial and influential documentary film cycle. Known collectively as 'mondo films' - or 'shockumentaries'" -this enduring series of films is a precursor of the Reality-TV show. A box-office draw for three decades and now a staple of the video rental market, these explosive 'exposés' would often pass fabricated scenes as fact in order to gave the public a sensationalist, highly emotive view of the world. SWEET & SAVAGE is the first ever English-language book devoted exclusively to the Mondo documentary film. A study of Mondo as a global film phenomenon, it includes a detailed examination of the key films and includes exclusive interviews with the 'godfathers' of this cult genre. Includes an exclusive interview with author J.G. Ballard.

Abstract:
The effects of black polyethylene (PE) mulch alone and in combination with plastic film tunnels (Agronet, Reemay, whiteperforated, clear, and clear-slitted) were studied on morphology and yield of sweet corn in North Logan, Utah. Yields of "Miracle" sweet corn (Zea mays L.) were increased significantly by using black PE mulch and with a combination of various types of plastic row covers, as compared to unmulched soil. Standard-growth analysis procedures were conducted to verify responses among treatments. Treatment effects were determined by measuring days to first flowering, ear weight, number of side tillers, cob length, cob circumference, cob fill length, number of rows, and number of kernels missing per cob. Leaf area, plant height, and total shoot dry mass were significantly larger for mulched than for unmulched plants.

Being the first ever English-language title devoted exclusively to the controversial and influential mondo documentary film cycle, this revised edition of Sweet and Savage remains the only serious study of mondo as a global film phenomenon, and includes a detailed examination of the key films of this cult genre. Sweet and Savage identifies the principle stylistic aspects of the mondo genre through a fascinating ‘non-linear’ approach that echoes the collage shock effects of the original films. In so doing it features exclusive interviews and many unique material contributions. It is lavishly illustrated with rare photographs, stills, posters, and record sleeves.

Abstract:
Abstract All commercial sweet cherry trees are either budded or grafted. This chapter deals with sweet cherry rootstocks. Rootstocks are used for several purposes: (i) ease for propagating and producing more trees of a superior cultivar; (ii) better adaptation to particular soil or site characteristics; and (iii) the potential improvement of production due to additional traits like precocious flowering, higher productivity, and greater or reduced scion vigor as appropriate. Unfortunately, no one rootstock can satisfy all the requirements for consistently producing high yields of large, firm fruit of premium quality. Growers are advised to consider carefully the effects of each specific scion-rootstock combination as a function of environmental and cultural practices when replanting an orchard. Selecting the proper rootstock depends not only on the management skills of the grower, but also on the scion cultivar, training system, and site climate and soil selected for the orchard. Dwarfing, semi-dwarfing and even semi-vigorous rootstocks have major economic advantages over full-size rootstocks. The development of these new, precocious rootstocks has been almost as significant to the sweet cherry industry as to the apple industry several decades ago. When compared to Mazzard, Colt and even Mahaleb, size-controlling rootstocks have allowed sweet cherry growers an opportunity to plant high density, pedestrian orchards that become profitable more quickly, are more readily protected with orchard covering systems, and promote greater labor efficiency, easier management, and a safer and more productive work environment.

Abstract:
AbstractAnalysis of the work of the music historian, composer, editor and Moravian missionary administrator Christian Ignatius Latrobe (1756–1836) enables a better understanding of the role of music in colonial expansion in the first half of the nineteenth century. In London, Latrobe received and circulated accounts of the missions’ supposed success in training disciplined and ‘sweet’ choirs of Christian singers from among formerly ‘heathen’ ‘barbarians’, and these accounts were taken to demonstrate the scalability of the ‘civilisation’ project of European colonialism, which suited both antislavery campaigners and colonial state officials. Latrobe sent standardised Christian hymn books, in English and German but also translated into indigenous languages, to mission stations around the world, from Suriname to Jamaica to Labrador to Greenland to Siberia to South Africa. He also sent musical instruments to accompany the hymn-singing, favouring the organ both aesthetically and for its ability to function in different climates. He also circulated specific instructions for training organists, with firm recommendations for a simple accompaniment style and learning hymns by heart. At the different stations, the policy increasingly became to train local members of the congregation according to Latrobe’s advice, so that the instrument, the canon of tunes and the performance conventions were exported uniformly from Europe, embodied in the organ and the organist. Crucially, this uniform and standardised imposition of music—although always resisted and never fully achieved—required the remaking of the cultural landscapes on which they were to be imposed, including through the violent outlawing of existing musical practices and styles. As such, key periods in the history of large-scale musical colonisation can be better understood when framed in terms of the cultural production of scalability, following Anna Tsing, with empirical attention to the efforts involved in musical scale-building projects that make claims about music’s universal qualities and that seek to propagate a standardised, common music around the world.

Abstract:
Abstract Knowledge creation is playing an ever more central role in capitalist economies, and business organizations must constantly create new knowledge to guarantee survival. To be a competitive firm in the contemporary economy it is necessary to continually innovate. Industries and firms that formerly were in comfortably protected, slowly evolving markets are being swept into accelerated change. Nonaka and Takeuchi (1995) were, perhaps, the first authors to reflect on how knowledge is created, but, equally important, they zeroed in on the fundamental importance to today’s firms of creating new knowledge or, put differently, of innovating. To compete, a firm must be transformed into an organization mobilized for knowledge creation. This paper reflects on the changing temporal dynamics of innovation on products, which are crystallizations of the state of knowledge in the firm at a particular moment. Products, released from the knowledge-creation process, become static, while the firm rushes into the future.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the intersection between Clive Barker's work and that of Bernard Rose; surprisingly, the two are closely connected, even symbiotic. Rose's UK debut film Paperhouse (1988) concerned the fantasy world of a young girl, and his subsequent work has shown a tendency towards transgression and transcendence, and repeated returns to social horror. Indeed, Rose was attracted to Barker's ‘The Forbidden’ because he wanted to ‘deal with the social stuff’. Relocating the action from a Liverpool housing estate to Chicago's notorious Cabrini-Green housing project, Rose extended the story, adding the innocent-person-on-the-run plot twist, and took Barker's conclusion further. But the class subtext, the urban legend and the idea of the myth biting back after attempts are made to debunk it, are all there in Barker's source material. The heroine, Helen Lyle, discovers that her normal life is more banal and morally dead than the eternal life-in-myth that the Candyman offers her.

Abstract:
This chapter examines baking in the antebellum South. Corn remained a staple food for many, especially the enslaved, but wheat cultivation spread with Anglo colonization. Mechanized mills created economies of scale, and wheat flour became cheaper. The spread of cookstoves changed baking technology, though many southerners continued cooking in fireplaces and brick ovens. Enslaved African Americans turned out elaborate baked goods, both breads and sweets, in the kitchens of their enslavers, but those enslavers severely restricted access to baked goods for most enslaved people. Technology also made sugar cheaper. With inexpensive sugar, chemical leavening, and standardized yeast, baked goods became more elaborate and widespread. A growing number of bakeries provided bread and sweets for urban dwellers.

Abstract:
This paper presents an overview of the fire and smoke threat to naval vessels and the measures that can be taken to counter the threat. In the confined space of a naval vessel, the damage to men and equipment from the heat, smoke, and toxic gases generated by a fire can occur rapidly. Once the fire has been extinguished, restoring the affected ship systems and cleansing the atmosphere can compromise the mission of the ship. The long-term effect of corrosive gases on electronic equipment adds to the maintenance burden on the ship and the refit facility. This paper will provide suggestions and procedures to reduce the potential for fire damage to naval vessels through the use of improved anti-sweat pipe insulation materials.

Abstract:
Multiphase flow in microchannels is frequently encountered in microdevices. Predicting the behavior of the multiphase flow has been difficult. The dynamics of liquid films inside of capillaries is important to microfluidic flows. At high flow rates with gas-liquid flows, the dynamics of liquid films on the interior surfaces of the microchannels can have a global affect on device operation. Measurement via optical microscopy of velocities in these liquid films and interface dynamics has been hampered by the inability to correctly image near dyanamic interfaces due to optical reflection and very short time scales of the flow. A novel technique for optically measuring liquid film thicknesses within circular microchannels has been developed. A swept-field confocal microscopy unit has been modified to capture the reflected light by replacing the dichroic mirror, commonly used in fluorescence confocal microscopy, with a 50/50 beam splitter. “Optical slicing” in the x-y plane, coupled with precision z-axis stepping allows for the detection of the gas-liquid interface by blocking out-of-focus light.

Abstract:
The starting point for this investigation was the observation of robust streamwise streaks in flow visualization on the suction surfaces of blades in a turbine cascade at subsonic and transonic speeds. The spanwise wavelength of an array of streamwise vortices had been predicted by Kestin and Wood and is here confirmed experimentally. Observations of streaks on unswept turbine blades and on circular cylinders confirmed these earlier predictions, providing a firm basis for referencing the new measurements of vortical behavior. The observations made it clear that the boundary layers are highly three dimensional. In this paper observations of streamwise and transverse instabilities on swept circular cylinders, over a range of inclinations, are presented. The circular cylinder is a canonical case and observations relate the streamwise vorticity of the unswept case to the more aggressive crossflow instability, at high sweep angles, studied by Poll. Introducing sweep brings consideration of a wide range of instabilities. Prominent is crossflow instability resulting from the inflectional behavior of a three-dimensional boundary layer.

Abstract:
Abstract A thin falling film is well suited to simultaneous heat and mass transfer because of the small thermal resistance through the film and because of the large contact surface achievable at low flow rates. The film enters as a smooth laminar flow and quickly transitions into small-amplitude wavy flow. The waves grow in length and amplitude and are identified as roll waves. This flow regime is termed “wavy-laminar flow,” and modern heat and mass transfer equipment operate in this complicated transition regime. Research published in open literature has shown the mass flow rate in the roll waves to be about 10 to 20 times greater than that in the laminar substrate. As the film fully develops, the waves grow in mass and the film substrate thins because fluid is swept from the substrate by the secondary flows of the roll wave. Many studies have been conducted to measure and correlate the film thickness of wavy-laminar flows. Literature data show that Nusselt’s theory for smooth laminar flow can over predict the film thickness by as much as 20% for certain wavy-laminar flow conditions. The hydrodynamics of falling films were therefore studied to measure the film thickness of a free-surface falling film and to better understand the parameters that affect the variations of the film thickness. A flow loop was set up for measuring the thickness, wave amplitude, and frequency of a film during hydrodynamic flow. Decreasing the pipe diameter caused the amplitude of the wavy flow to diminish. Measurements monitored from stations along the falling film showed a thinning of film thickness. Fully developed flow required large starting lengths of about 0.5 m. The film thickness increases as the Reynolds number (Re) increases. Increasing the Kapitza number (Ka) causes a decrease in the film thickness. Regression analysis showed that the Re and Ka numbers described the data trends in wavy-laminar flow. Rather than correlating the Re number in discrete ranges of the Ka number as earlier researchers have done, this research made the Ka number an independent regression variable along with the Re number. The correlation explains 96% of the total variation in the data and predicts the experimental data within an absolute average deviation of ±4.0%. The correlation supports the calculation of a fully developed film thickness for wavy-laminar falling films.

Abstract:
In the present paper, a narrow, angled trench layout is proposed and numerically optimized. In the optimization process the trench width and depth as well as the edge contour were varied. For each design, the optimizer automatically created the geometry and a structured hexahedral mesh. Then, six blowing ratios from M = 1 to 6 were evaluated based on RANS computations. The spatial average and the standard deviation of the film cooling effectiveness served as objective variables for the optimizer. One novel configuration was studied in more detail and compared to a trench with a depth of 0.75 hole diameters D and a cooling hole angle of α = 30 deg. For both configurations unsteady simulations using the hybrid SAS turbulence model were carried out and validated against infrared thermography measurements of the adiabatic film cooling effectiveness. The match between SAS and experiment is improved compared to RANS computations with the realizable k-ε-model. The optimized configuration yields a significant improvement of the film cooling performance. The swept shape of the trench promotes the lateral spreading of the coolant, while the decreased trench width reduces the mixing of cooling air and hot free-stream gas in the region between the cooling holes.

Abstract:
This study was conducted in the microbiology laboratories of the College of Agriculture, University of Basra for the year 2021. Modern techniques (Petri film slides) were used to count (total aerobic bacteria, total coliform bacteria, faecal coliform bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, yeasts, and moulds) as they were collected from five different regions of Basra Governorate, which are (Abi al-Khasib, Old Basra, Algeria, Karma, and al-Ashar) from the shops scattered in these areas, and samples of some sweets, bread, and pastries (cakes with sesame, dumplings, date crumbs, local data, bread, and jerk). Specificity. The highest contamination was observed for the bread sample of the Old Basra region, as the logarithm of the microbial numbers reached (6,1, 1.8, 1, 1.2 and 1) cfu/g for each of (total aerobic bacteria, total coliform bacteria, faecal coliform bacteria, Staphylococcus aurous, yeasts and moulds) on Respectively, while the highest contamination of jerk was observed for the regions of Abi al-Khasib and Karma about the total number of bacteria, and faecal coliform bacteria were found, while there were no growth was found (for faecal coliform bacteria, Staphylococcus aurous, yeasts, and moulds) for the rest of the studied areas below. While the sweets were observed, the highest contamination was in the Abu al-Khasib area and for samples (sesame cakes, dumplings, date stalks, and local data). The average logarithm of the total number of bacteria was (4, 4.6, 5 and 5.3) cfu\g, respectively, while the lowest logarithm averages for the total number of bacteria for the Algeria region were (1, 2.2, 1.2, and 1.2) cfu\g, respectively, according to the above dessert arrangement. Also, no growth of faecal coliform bacteria, yeasts, and moulds was observed for all the sweets selected in the study. However, growth of Staphylococcus aurous bacteria was observed for the dumplings of the Karma region, with an average logarithm of 2.47 cfu/g. And the results obtained fell within the hygiene conditions that make them acceptable and palatable to the consumer

Abstract:
Agricultural value chain financing (VCF) is an emerging phenomenon in the region but it is not well studied. Historically, small- and medium-sized famers experience problems accessing formal finance. Participation in a well-structured and dynamic supply chain seems to improve chances of obtaining financing, either directly from larger more liquid agents in the same chain or indirectly from external formal lenders based on the type of relationships and degrees of connectedness in the chain (advance sale contracts, technical assistance agreements, length of transaction history, etc.). Four value chains were studied in Nicaragua (diary and plantains) and Honduras (plantains and horticulture, sweet peppers and tomatoes specifically) to discover how and under what terms and conditions financing was being provided and to understand the challenges in expanding the use of this type of financing. The main findings are (i) VCF is occurring in Nicaragua and Honduras, but it is mostly indirect; (ii) the specific instruments used to support VCF are simple¿lead firm vouching for and even providing guarantees for smaller actors, relying on donor financed guarantee funds, and buyer/exporter finance; (iii) creditor rights are weak in both countries; (iv) financial institutions that are participating in VCF are not lowering interest rates despite fewer risks faced; (v) the legacy of inappropriate government interventions, namely debt forgiveness programs, and generally weak support services for producers dampens the enthusiasm of formal financial intermediaries to expand agricultural lending; and (vi) high quality technical assistance is serving as an accelerant and facilitating VCF, but it is donor financed and it is important to find ways to sustain this intervention over time.

Abstract:
he Southeast Coast Network (SECN) conducts long-term terrestrial vegetation monitoring as part of the NPS Inventory and Monitoring Program. The vegetation community vital sign is one of the primary-tier resources identified by SECN park managers, and monitoring is conducted at 15 network parks (DeVivo et al. 2008). Monitoring plants and their associated communities over time allows for targeted understanding of ecosystems within the SECN geography, which provides managers information about the degree of change within their parks’ natural vegetation. 2021 marked the first year of conducting this monitoring effort at Congaree National Park (CONG). Sixty-four vegetation plots were established throughout the park from May through August. Data collected in each plot included species richness across multiple spatial scales, species-specific cover and constancy, species-specific woody stem seedling/sapling counts and adult tree (greater than 10 centimeters [3.9 inches {in}]) diameter at breast height (DBH), overall tree health, landform, soil, observed disturbance, and woody biomass (i.e., fuel load) estimates. This report summarizes the baseline (year 1) terrestrial vegetation data collected at Congaree National Park in 2021. Data were stratified across two dominant broadly defined habitats within the park, Coastal Plain Upland Open Woodlands and Coastal Plain Alluvial Wetlands. Noteworthy findings include: 295 vascular plant taxa (species or lower) were observed across 64 vegetation plots, including 37 species not previously documented within the park. 27 unique species of sedge (Carex sp.) were found across all plots. The most frequently encountered species in each broadly defined habitat included: Coastal Plain Alluvial Wetlands: green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), red maple (Acer rubrum), possumhaw (Ilex decidua), eastern poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans var. radicans), muscadine (Muscadinia rotundifolia var. rotundifolia) and smallspike false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica). Coastal Plain Upland Open Woodlands: loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), muscadine, sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), willow oak (Quercus phellos), roundleaf greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), and Carolina jessamine (Gelsemium sempervirens). Seven non-native species categorized as invasive (Significant or Severe Threat) by the South Carolina Exotic Pest Plant Council (SCEPPC 2014) were encountered within the park during this monitoring effort. These included sweet autumn virginsbower (Clematis terniflora), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), Japanese climbing fern (Lygodium japonicum), Japanese stilt grass (Microstegium vimineum), marsh dew flower (Murdannia keisak), and Chinese wisteria (Wisteria sinensis). Four species listed as rare and tracked by the South Carolina Natural Heritage Program (SCNHP 2023) were encountered during this monitoring effort. These included Cherokee sedge (Carex cherokeensis), ravenfoot sedge (Carex crus-corvi), Santee azalea (Rhododendron eastmanii), and heartleaf nettle (Urtica chamaedryoides). Sweetgum, water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica), green ash, and bald-cypress were the most dominant species within the tree stratum of Coastal Plain Alluvial Wetland sites; loblolly pine was the most dominant species of Coastal Plain Upland Open Woodlands. Feral hog (Sus scrofa) rooting was observed in 73% of the Coastal Plain Alluvial Wetland plots, while 20% of the plots had over 60% damage from rooting behavior. Hog activity was observed throughout the Congaree National Park’s floodplain, but largely absent from sites along the park’s northern boundary with the private hunt club. Based on data collected from eight Coastal Plain Upland Open Woodland plots, the canopy and subcanopy composition and structure of the park’s upland pine woodlands are not in a condition to maintain fire-dependency and thus promote healthy and sustainable longleaf pine woodlands. Densities of loblolly pine in the canopy and sweetgum in the sapling stratum are elevated. However, with continued fire and fire surrogate treatments to these upland units, thriving longleaf pine woodlands can be achieved. All plots are scheduled to be resampled during the summer of 2025.
