Leaf Area Index (lai) of Loblolly Pine and Emergent Vegetation following a Harvest
Forests provide goods and services to society and, often, refugia for plants and animals; forest managers utilize silviculture to provide ecosystem services and to create habitat. On the Coastal Plain of North Carolina, forest management objectives typically include wood fiber production but may also include the maintenance of environmental quality and, sometimes, species diversity. Silvicultur...
متن کاملLeaf Area Index (LAI) Change Detection Analysis on Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda) Following Complete Understory Removal
The confounding effect of understory vegetation contributions to satellite-derived estimates of leaf area index (LAI) was investigated on two loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) forest stands located in Virginia and North Carolina. In order to separate NDVI contributions of the dominant-codominate crown class from that of the understory, two P. taeda 1 ha plots centered in planted stands of ages 19 and...
متن کاملModeling the Effects of Stand Development, Site Quality, and Silviculture on Leaf Area Index, Litterfall, and Forest Floor Accumulations in Loblolly and Slash Pine Plantations
Leaf area index (LAI), needlefall (NF), and forest floor (FF) dynamics are tightly linked with stand productivity, nutrient cycling, and carbon, water, and energy exchange. We analyzed a long-term data set to quantify the impacts of stand development, site quality, and silviculture on LAI and litterfall (LF) in loblolly and slash pine plantations. LAI was significantly correlated with stand den...
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 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 ...
