Effect of Fertilization on Growth and Wood Properties of Thinned and Unthinned Midrotation Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.) Stands
productivity; effects of different silvicultural treatments on the availability of limited resources; and the final consequence of resource availability on productivity and wood quality (Allen et al. 2005). An understanding of the effect of different management practices on productivity and quality of wood is of great importance both for wood growers and wood buyers. Therefore, our objectives w...
متن کاملGrowth and Yield Relative to Competition for Loblolly Pine Plantations to Midrotation- A Southeastern United States Regional Study
Lohlollypine (Pinus taeda LJplantations were studied across 13 southeastern sites grown for 1.5 yr with near-complete control o f woody, herbaceous, and woody plus herbaceous components during the f irst 3-5 yr . This mult iple object ive experiment ( the COMProject) documents stand dynamics at the extreme corners o f the response surface that encompasses most compet i t ion condi t ions common...
متن کاملHigh 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 کاملEffect of midrotation fertilization on growth and specific gravity of loblolly pine
Wood properties and growth were measured on breast-height cores and on disks collected at different heights from a thinned and fertilized midrotation loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantation in the lower Coastal Plain of North Carolina. The study was laid out in a randomized complete-block design receiving four levels of nitrogen (N) fertilizer: unfertilized control and 112, 224, and 336 kg/ha...
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...
