Saucier-Susquehanna complex. Slope in this complex varies from 0 to 8%, but it was closer to 1–4% on the study site. Five treatments were established: (1) no cultivation or fertilization; (2) cultivated with no fertilization; (3) cultivated with a single application of 112 kg ha 1 of NPK fertilizer (type unknown); (4) cultivated with a single application of 224 kg ha 1 of NPK fertilizer; and (5...

-Two schools of thought exist regarding top-pruning bareroot seedlings. One school favors top-pruning due to the economic advantages. Top-pruning can reduce the production of cull seedlings (increase crop value) as well as increase the chance of survival after outplanting. Published studies suggest that top-pruning can increase overall survival of loblolly pine and longleaf pine by 7 and 13 per...

concentration and size of induced lesions were determined following inoculation of stems of slash pine (Pinus elliottii Englm. var. elliottii) and loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) with Ophiostoma minus (Hedgc.) H.P. Sydow, O. ips (Rumb.) Nannf or sterile water. In a second experiment, the rate of ethylene production and monoterpene concentration were determined following inoculation of slash pine...

Three southern USA forestry species, loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana), and shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata), were previously shown to be spectrally separable (83% accuracy) using data from a full-range spectroradiometer (400–2500 nm) acquired above tree canopies. This study focused on whether these same species are also separable using hyperspectral data acquired usi...
