A 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 کاملAn Annual Tree Survival and Diameter Growth Model for Loblolly and Slash Pine Plantations in East Texas
An annual growth model that predicts individual tree survival and diameter growth was developed for loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) and slash pine (Pinus elliottii) trees in East Texas as a function of individual-tree diameter, plantation age, basal area per acre, dominant height, quadratic mean diameter, and presence of fusiform rust (Cronartium quercuum [Berk.] Miyabe ex Shirai f. sp. fusiforme)....
متن کاملRegional Locale and Its Influence on the Prediction of Loblolly Pine Diameter Distributions
Data gathered from intensively and nonintensively managed loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations were used to model the diameter distributions of stands across the southeastern United States. Weibull scale and shape parameters were predicted using stand density, site index, and stand age as covariates. Including geographic locale (latitude and longitude) of the stand improved the diameter d...
متن کاملYoung Modeling for I lntensi Loblolly Pine Plantations in Southeastern U S
Intensively managed loblolly pine stands are often subjected to a variety of silvicultural treatments at t ime of planting or shortly thereafter. However, most loblolly pine growth-and-yield models predict growth after crown closure has occurred. In this article, we describe the development and implementation of a system of equations designed to simulate growth of loblolly pine before the onset...
متن کاملSwitchgrass (Panicum virgatum) Intercropping within Managed Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda) Does Not Affect Wild Bee Communities
Intensively-managed pine (Pinus spp.) have been shown to support diverse vertebrate communities, but their ability to support invertebrate communities, such as wild bees, has not been well-studied. Recently, researchers have examined intercropping switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), a native perennial, within intensively managed loblolly pine (P. taeda) plantations as a potential source for cellulo...
