Effects 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 کاملUneven - aged Management for Longleaf Pine : Freedom to Choose
Longleaf pine once was present on 90 million acres of the southern landscape, ranging from coastal Virginia to east Texas and from central Florida to the mountains of Alabama. On nearly two-thirds of that area, longleaf pine grew in nearly pure (single-species) stands maintained by frequent, low-intensity surface fires of both natural and human origin. The remaining one-third of that area was s...

A healtb.y understory comrmmity is a key factor in maintain@ the biodiversity of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) Stands, and there 1 appears to be a strong relationship between the occurrence of fire and the condition of the understory vegetauon. Generally, the mulerstory is bakhier in burned areas than in those not burned. TO assess the USC of prescribed 8~ in restoring and maintaining the 1 h...
متن کاملStructure and Composition of Vegetation of Longleaf Pine Plantations Compared to Natural Stands Occurring along an Environmental Gradient at the Savannah River Site
Fifty-four plots in 33-43 year old longleaf pine plantations were compared to 30 remnant plots in longleaf stands on the Savannah River Site in South Carolina. Within these stands, the structure and composition of primarily the herb layer relative to a presumed soil moisture or soil texture gradient was studied using the North Carolina Vegetation Survey methodology. Data were also collected on ...
