Disturbance–succession models describe the relationship between the disturbance regime and the dominant tree species of a forest type. Such models are useful tools in ecosystem management and restoration, provided they are accurate. We tested a disturbance–succession model for the oak–pine ( Quercus spp. – Pinus spp.) forests of the Appalachian Mountains region using dendrochronological techniques. In this model, fire promotes pines, while fire suppression, bark beetle outbreaks, and ice storms encourage oaks. We analyzed nine Appalachian oak–pine stands for species establishment dates and the occurrence of fires and canopy disturbances. We found no evidence that fire preferentially promoted the establishment of pine more than oak, nor did we find any evidence that canopy disturbances or periods of no disturbance facilitated the establishment of oak more than pine. Rather, we found that both species groups originated primarily after combined canopy and fire disturbances, and reduction of fire frequency and scope coincided with the cessation of successful oak and pine regeneration. Currently, heath shrubs are slowly dominating these stands, so we present a revised disturbance–succession model for land managers struggling to manage or restore oak–pine forests containing a dense ericaceous understory.

This research program incorporates four primary objectives: (1) develop a comprehensive vegetation classification for Cedar Breaks National Monument, and to map the current and potential vegetation for the monument; (2) develop a vital attributes succession model which depicts the successional development and disturbance response of plant communities in Cedar Breaks; (3) map the distribution of rare or exotic species in the monument, specifying the habitats and plant communities in which these plants occur; and (4) identify and map the distribution of undisturbed plant communities to serve as baseline reference areas.

Leadership succession in the Malaysian Public Service’s higher management has been seen as one of the most important task for Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam (JPA). This department acts as the centralized administrator for human resources for the whole of the Malaysian Public Service – excluding the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) and the Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) – and determines the career path for all schemes under their purview, which includes officials of the Perkhidmatan Tadbir dan Diplomatik (PTD), the Pegawai Perkhidmatan Latihan dan Vokasional (PPLV) and the Pegawai Perkhidmatan Psikologi (PPPsi). This paper will review the hypothetical leadership succession strategies and any developed models in the Malaysian public sector, through various available literatures, guidelines and processes.
