متن کاملEffects of reproduction methods and overstory species composition on understory light availability in longleaf pine–slash pine ecosystems
The restoration of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) ecosystem types ranging from xeric uplands to hydric flatwoods is the goal of significant management efforts in the southeastern United States. Overstory species composition across ecosystem types varies from pure longleaf to mixed species stands, with slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) becoming more predominant on hydric soils, though ...
متن کاملEconomic Sustainability of Payments for Water Yield in Slash Pine Plantations in Florida
Forests play an important role with respect to water resources, and can be managed to increase surfaceand groundwater recharge. With the creation of a forest water yield payment system, privately-owned forests, which comprise the majority of forest area in the Southeastern US, could become an important potential source of additional water supply. The economic tradeoffs between timber revenues a...
متن کاملNorth Carolina State University Loblolly and Slash Pine Rooted Cutting Program
Rooted stem cuttings of forest trees are increasingly being used around the world to deploy elite genotypes in intensive forest plantations. In 1992, the NCSU Loblolly and Slash Pine Rooted Cutting Program was formed as an industrially sponsored research cooperative. The primary mission of the program is to conduct research to facilitate the operational use of rooted cuttings for the pines of t...
