Early Plant Succession in Loblolly Pine Plantations as Affected by Vegetation Management
A common study design has been used at 13 locat ions across the South to examine loblol ly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations established using four vegetation control treatments after mechanical site preparat ion: (a) No Control , (b) Woody Control , (c) Herbaceous Control for 4 yr , and (d) Total Control . This research, the Compet i t ion Omission Moni toring Project (COMP), is moni toring bo...
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 ...
متن کاملRestoration of Plant Communities in Former Pine Tree Plantations
As human populations encroach on more remote areas, tree plantations are frequently converted into suburban developments or conservation lands. The purpose of the current study was to compare the effects of restoration treatments on the abundance and biodiversity of two former pine plantations in northeast Florida. Restoration methods, which varied greatly in both environmental impact and effor...
متن کاملDetermining the best form factor formula for Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations at the age of 18, in Guilan- northern Iran
In order to determine the best form factor formula for Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations in Talesh (Western Guilan province-Iran), a number of 110 trees were selected based on their distribution in diameter classes, from 12 to 34 cm (in a two- cm diameter interval). First, several quantitative factors including diameter at breast height, diameter at 0.65 m of height, and diameter at st...
