High Tonnage Harvesting and Skidding for Loblolly Pine Energy Plantations
The southeastern United States has a promising source for renewable energy in the form of woody biomass. To meet the energy needs, energy plantations will likely be utilized. These plantations will contain a high density of small-stem pine trees. Since the stems are relatively small when compared with traditional product removal, the harvesting costs will increase. The purpose of this research ...
متن کاملFertilization Increases Below-ground Carbon Sequestration of Loblolly Pine Plantations
The extent of fertilization of southern pine forests is increasing rapidly; industrial fertilization increased from 16,200 ha per year in 1988, to 344,250 ha in 1998. Fertilization increases stand productivity and can increase carbon (C) sequestration by: 1) increasing above-ground standing C; 2) increasing C stored in forest products; and 3) increasing below-ground C pools. This talk will conc...
متن کاملBiomass partitioning in a miniature-scale loblolly pine spacing trial
Stand conditions influence the partitioning of biomass to stem, needle, branch, and root components. Using data from 4to 6-year-old loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) trees grown in a miniature-scale spacing trial, this study determined the effect of initial spacing on the biomass partitioning of loblolly pine. Multivariate analysis of variance procedures concluded that row and column spacing did n...
