Understory vegetation, resource availability, and litterfall responses to pine thinning and woody vegetation control in longleaf pine plantations
In s ix 8to 1 1-year-old plantat ions of longleaf pine (Pinus palus tr i s Mill.) near Aiken, S.C., responses of understory vegetation, light, and soil watcr availability and litterfall were studied in relation to pine thinning (May 1994), herbicida1 treatment of nonpine woody vegetat ion (1995-1996), or the combined treatments (treatment responses described below are in absolute units) . Treat...
متن کاملImpact of understory vegetation on soil carbon and nitrogen dynamic in aerially seeded Pinus massoniana plantations
Understory vegetation plays a vital role in regulating soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) characteristics due to differences in plant functional traits. Different understory vegetation types have been reported following aerial seeding. While aerial seeding is common in areas with serious soil erosion, few studies have been conducted to investigate changes in soil C and N cycling as affected by un...
متن کاملPrescribed Burning and Clear-Cutting Effects on Understory Vegetation in a Pinus canariensis Stand (Gran Canaria)
Prescribed fires are a powerful tool for reducing fire hazards by decreasing amounts of fuel. The main objective is to analyze the effects of prescribed burning on the understory vegetation composition as well as on the soil characteristics of a reforested stand of Pinus canariensis. The study attempts to identify the effects of the preburning treatment of cutting understory vegetation on the f...
متن کاملEffects of fertilization on the production of an edible forest fruit: stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) nuts in south-west Andalusia
The pine nut from the stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) is the most important edible fruit in mediterranean forests. Despite this fact, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the application of agronomy techniques in stands of this species to increase pine nut production. Our study focuses on the effect of mineral fertilization on cone production and size, which in turn, are closely related to nut yi...
متن کاملChemical profiling of Portuguese Pinus pinea L. nuts.
BACKGROUND The first detailed chemical characterisation of Portuguese pine nut (Pinus pinea L.) is reported concerning proximate composition, fatty acid, mineral and vitamin contents. RESULTS Based on the analysis of 27 different populations, pine nuts were characterised by high contents of fat (47.7 g per 100 g dry matter (DM)), protein (33.8 g per 100 g DM) and phosphorus (1130 mg per 100 g...
