Loblolly pine growth and soil nutrient stocks eight years after forest slash incorporation
Incorporation of forest slash during stand establishment is proposed as ameans of increasing soil carbon and nutrient stocks. If effective, the increased soil carbon and nutrient status may result in increased aboveground tree growth. Eight years after study installation, the impact of forest slash incorporation into the soil on soil carbon and nutrient stocks, foliar nutrients and loblolly pin...
متن کاملA Modified Stand Table Projection Growth Model for Unmanaged Loblolly and Slash Pine Plantations in East Texas
Four methodologies to project future trees per acre by diameter class were compared to develop a new modified stand table projection growth model for unmanaged loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) and slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) plantations in East Texas. The new models were fit to 92,882 observations from 153 permanent plots located in loblolly pine plantations and 33,792 observations from ...
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...
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 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...
