abstract:Despite political partisanship, growing segments of the American public are concerned and even alarmed about climate change. Yet a common finding in the research literature is that climate change beliefs are filtered through an ideological lens. In this study, we examine whether politics remain a reliable indicator of climate change belief by comparing the percent margin of victory for both parties in the last four Presidential elections with the estimated percentage who think global warming is mostly caused by human activities in each county. There were increasing positive trends between the Democratic margin of victory and the acceptance of human-caused climate change. However, this effect was different for counties with different types of climate change beliefs. Election results were less reliable indicators of the acceptance of human-caused climate change in Republican-voting counties until the two most recent general elections in 2016 and 2020. The results underscore the partisanship of climate politics at the national level. Using the southeastern US as an example, this study highlights the need to understand the regional variability of climate change beliefs as an important step in finding less polarizing climate solutions.

abstract:Microstegium vimineum or stiltgrass is a novel invader widely considered one of the most significant threats to oak-hickory woodlands in the eastern United States. Due to the insubstantial weight and buoyancy of seeds, Microstegium can disperse not only via overland dispersal routes but also via sheet flow, flooding, and stream channels, creating rapid progression of existing populations and greater likelihood of introduction to new areas. Using the knowledge of Microstegium habitat from previous research and field mapping of current populations, we identified and assessed environmental variables for use in habitat suitability modeling. We found canopy openness, distance from roads, and distance from streams to be the primary drivers of Microstegium presence. We then applied a GIS-based habitat suitability analysis across seven nature reserves in Kentuckiana as a potential tool for land management. Our pilot study developed a model which can potentially guide managers of natural areas to decide where best to focus mitigation and prevention of potential Microstegium invasion and population expansion when resources are limited.

abstract:This research study analyzes placemaking tension and dynamics at a university in the southern United States known for its beautiful landscape as well as its dedication to sustainability science education. This study aims to discover the decision-making framework of the University’s Grounds Department using actor-network theory to explore relationships among actors of turfgrass, soil, water, oak trees, and humans as a socio-ecological system within the institutional context of the university. Methodology includes participatory observation, interviews, focus groups, document analysis, and quantitative data collection. Data collected showed a high aesthetic expectation and high human intervention on a site-by-site level. The turfgrass at the front of campus is a symbol of the university. It is intensely managed by the Grounds Department and aesthetic quality is the highest priority. Our results reveal that legacies of intense management have caused more frequent turfgrass patchiness and plant inconsistency. The study reveals a highly contested socio-ecological system of dynamic interactions among humans, soils, water, trees, and turfgrass. This research provides the decision-making framework of the Grounds Department and describes feedbacks within the socio-ecological system. Nonetheless, alternatives exist to balance the demands of the socio-ecological system with the desire to maintain the aesthetic of campus.

One of the many strengths of the Southeastern Division of the Association of American Geographers (SEDAAG) has been the broad and long-standing support of its members and their strong service commitment to ensure the vitality of the division. These contributions are best expressed during the annual meeting each November held in a variety of cities from small (e.g., Florence, Alabama) to large (e.g., Atlanta, Georgia) located within the SEDAAG region. Regardless of location, the meetings offer an opportunity for many of the attendees to travel, which is part of the enjoyment of the meeting, especially when exploration is integrated into the trip. As geographers, we know that visiting places with interesting geographical qualities can be highly educational and initiate new ideas. This travel can help satiate the wanderlust that is inherent to geographers, and when done as a group, initiate long-lasting friendships and promote great conversions. That said, the reason for the travel — to attend the meeting — is made possible by a suite of individuals who organize the event. For the 2022 meeting, we recognize the efforts of SEDAAG President Bill Graves, SEDAAG Vice President Jennifer Rahn, and local organizer Eric Spears who spent numerous hours working to create an event that was widely enjoyed. We also recognize the contributions of the State Representatives and committee members, and for the latter particularly, Phillip Schmutz, who served as Chair of the Honors Committee. The awards banquet keynote address by AAG President Marilyn Raphael made the conference even more special. Finally, the success of the meeting does not occur without participation on panels, in sessions, and in the honors competition. The exceptional contributions for 2022 are listed below:

abstract:The framing of national parks as "America's best idea" has undergone a multi-disciplinary critique for its failure to address the scarcity of racial minority visitors, particularly Black Americans. Slavery, segregation, and ongoing racial politics demand a process of unlearning and undoing by centering Black voices. This research seeks to re-examine Black Americans' motivations for and deterrents against visiting national parks using Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) as a preliminary case study. A review of archival documents (e.g., park history and promotional materials), interpretation programs, exhibits, and the racial composition of surrounding communities and park employees was conducted to identify gaps in Black Americans' representation within the core messages created and promoted by GSMNP. The results suggest that Black Americans are rarely seen in archival documents, and marginally represented in publicly accessible literature and exhibits. This legacy may send a message to Black Americans that the park is a "White" space, where their ancestors were treated as second-class citizens or excluded entirely. Under the shadow of Jim Crow laws, segregation, racism, and discrimination, this space may have been associated with danger or considered unsafe and unwelcoming. Our findings contribute to the broader understanding of how landscapes and institutions are racialized, and how the power of narrative can be used to dismantle racialization.
将国家公园作为“美国最好的主意”的框架，由于未能解决少数民族游客，特别是美国黑人游客的稀缺问题，受到了多学科的批评。奴隶制、种族隔离和持续的种族政治需要一个以黑人的声音为中心的忘却和毁灭的过程。本研究以大烟山国家公园(Great Smoky Mountains national Park, GSMNP)为初步案例，试图重新审视美国黑人参观国家公园的动机和阻碍因素。通过对档案文件(如公园历史和宣传材料)、解说项目、展览以及周边社区和公园员工的种族构成进行审查，以确定美国黑人在GSMNP创建和推广的核心信息中的代表性差距。研究结果表明，美国黑人很少出现在档案文件中，在公共文献和展览中也很少出现。这一遗产可能会向美国黑人传递一个信息，即公园是一个“白人”空间，他们的祖先在这里被视为二等公民或被完全排除在外。在吉姆·克劳法、种族隔离、种族主义和歧视的阴影下，这个空间可能与危险联系在一起，或者被认为不安全、不受欢迎。我们的研究结果有助于更广泛地理解景观和制度是如何种族化的，以及如何利用叙事的力量来消除种族化。

abstract:UNESCO biosphere reserves contain areas with widely varied environmental, ecological, and economic characteristics, human land uses, and management jurisdictions and goals. Effective conservation planning thus requires consideration of the spatial patterns of factors that may influence management activities across the landscape. In this study, we examined spatial variation in conservation benefits, priorities, and barriers in the Congaree Biosphere Region (CBR), near Columbia, SC. We first used GIS-based clustering to subdivide the CBR into subregions with comparatively homogeneous land cover and habitats. We then surveyed local stakeholders and conservation experts to identify their perceptions of: 1) existing environmental, economic, and social benefits provided by features within each subregion, and 2) future subregional priorities for and barriers to conservation opportunities. Our results identified both overarching themes that were common across the entire CBR (e.g., the need for enhancing collaborative partnerships; improving habitat quality and connectivity) and subregional differences that could be linked to variations in land cover, protected areas, and existing environmental, social, and cultural features. We conclude by exploring how the identification of CBR subregions and analysis and organization of survey results can facilitate the development of community-informed management strategies based on shared knowledge of conservation benefits and barriers.

abstract:In a complex system of natural and human-caused disturbance, shifting climate, and documented, widespread decline and recovery of red spruce populations prior to and following the United States (US) Clean Air Act and amendments (CAAA)—all within the last century—a better understanding of the potential influence of these disturbances on the climate sensitivity and resiliency of red spruce under projected future conditions is needed. We investigated the potential recovery of annual growth in southeastern US red spruce populations following the CAAA and the influence of this recovery vs. ongoing climate change. Using a recently collected network of red spruce tree-ring data from across the southern Appalachian range, we examined temporal trends in stand-level growth and climate sensitivity in the context of acidic (acid) deposition and recovery and modern climate change. We demonstrated that in recent decades, spruce growth is becoming synchronous and climate sensitive in conjunction with a reduction in acid deposition coupled with changes in climate conditions. The emergence of synchronous growth across sites is a new phenomenon that highlights the potential of and the need for region-wide management. Our results provide a temporal perspective that can aid future management strategies in an era of reduced air pollution and a changing climate.
