Even-Aged vs. Uneven-Aged Silviculture: Implications for Multifunctional Management of Southern Pine Ecosystems
We evaluated evenand uneven-aged silvicultural options for slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) using empirical data and the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) model. Data were collected from a mature unthinned slash pine plantation in a flatwoods site in Florida, and used to simulate six scenarios of evenand uneven-aged silvicultural regimes applied to slash pine stands, including a no-action o...
متن کاملUneven-Aged Silviculture of Longleaf Pine
The use of uneven-aged silviculture has increased markedly in the past 20 years. This is especially true in the southern United States, where the use of clearcutting and planting is often viewed as a practice whose emphasis on fiber production results in unacceptable consequences for other values, such as those that benefit from maintenance of continuous forest cover over time. Public lands in ...
متن کاملEstimating Long-Term Carbon Sequestration Patterns in Even- and Uneven-Aged Southern Pine Stands
Carbon (C) sequestration has become an increasingly important consideration for forest management in North America, and has particular potential in pine-dominated forests of the southern United States. Using existing literature on plantations and long-term studies of naturally regenerated loblolly (Pinus taeda) and shortleaf (Pinus echinata) pine-dominated stands on the Crossett Experimental Fo...
متن کاملComparison of Log Quality from Even-Aged and Uneven-Aged Loblolly Pine Stands in South Arkansas
Log grade, number of knots, and log volume of the first two logs, as well as form class of the butt log, were compared across three broad sawtimber categories among even-aged plantations, even-aged natural stands, and uneven-aged natural stayMs of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) in Ashley County, AR. Trees from unevenaged stands had butt logs of better log grade than even-aged plantations, parti...
متن کاملYield Comparisons from Even-Aged and Uneven-Aged Loblolly-Shortleaf Pine Stands
Empirical yields for a 36year management period are presented for seven long-term studies on similar sites in loblolly-shortleaf pine (Pinus taeda L.-P. 1 The authors thank George Switzer of Mississippi State University, Terry Clason of Louisiana State Uni\'ersity, and Dick Kennedy of Georgia-Pacific Corporation for reviewing the manuscript. Special thanks also to Georgia-Pacific Corporation an...
