that some decline in plant performance was visually observed in southern Florida during the fall of 2004 following hurricanes Frances (5 Sept.) and Jeanne (26 Sept.), but plants recovered. Overall, green fountain grass and ‘Rubrum’ fountain grass had
separated into 0–15-cm and 15–30-cm sections for pH, NO 3 − , and NH 4 + ion analysis using the above-described methods. Week 7 data in the Fall 2018 season were missing due to a significant weather event (i.e., Hurricane “Michael”) that impacted the area
( Sparks and Payne, 1977 ). Observations also suggest most seedling trunks (juvenile growth) are less prone to damage than cultivar trunks (adult phase growth) when mechanically thinning fruit. In hurricane-prone areas of the Southeast, whip-grafted trees
( Fig. 2 ), particularly the first time an orchard is mechanically harvested or after severe stem dieback (e.g., after a freeze or hurricane). Studies following the same mechanically harvested trees over multiple harvest seasons found no detrimental
moisture during worst-case scenarios of a tropical depression or hurricane, which can occur in eastern North Carolina. Sweetpotato storage roots were harvested on 14 Oct. 2009 and 18 Oct. 2011. In 2009 and 2011, 0.3 and 0.4 inches of rainfall, respectively
Florida, citrus canker and HLB, along with the seasonal hurricanes, have resulted in a drastic reduction of U.S. grapefruit-bearing areas to about 46,400 acres, equivalent to the 1922–23 season. Most of the decrease in U.S. grapefruit-bearing area occurred
(hurricanes, freezes, floods, and drought). Rapid removal and replacement of declined trees is essential to maximize grove productivity and profitability over time ( Jackson, 1999 ). In the past 10 years, removal of trees by “clipping” the tree off above the

Florida, Erickson et al. (2001) reported higher nitrate runoff under extreme hurricane conditions than from dry conditions from st. augustinegrass turf growing on a 10% slope. The authors reported, however, that the concentration of N in the runoff water
calculated by dividing the kernel weight for the 50-nut sample by total nut weight. Pecan yield data were not collected in 2018 due to Hurricane Michael. All data were subjected to analysis of variance with means separated using Duncan’s multiple range test
