This study was an at- tempt to evaluate the performance of 1oblolly pine and slash pine plantations and to quantify the re- lationships between height growth and various climatic and edaphic factors.
Loblolly pine consistently had greater average height and live crown length than slash pine. Loblolly pine outperformed slash pine in terms of stand basal area and volume. Intensive culture increased species differences in average height, stand basal area and volume. Planting density significantly affected species difference only in live crown length.
Of various rotation ages with management options for loblolly, longleaf, and slash pine plantations including competition control, fertilization, with and without.
Although slash pine has the most limited range of the major southern pines, more has been planted than any other southern pine, or for that mat ter,.
Abstract: we examined growth patterns of gopher tortoises in slash pine plantations using recapture data from a five-year period. Growth data were fitted to the von bertalanffy and logistic asymptotic growth models. The von bertalanffy model provided the best fit to the recapture data.
Highlights growth performance of loblolly and slash pine were compared. Loblolly pine consistently had greater average height and live crown length than slash pine. Loblolly pine outperformed slash pine in terms of stand basal area and volume. Intensive culture increased species differences in average height, stand basal area and volume.
Billings texas forest service according to professional foresters, young pine stands in east texas should be thinned periodically to optimize growth rates and financial returns while minimizing risks from the southern pine beetle (spb) and wildfires.
Shortleaf pine (pinus echinata slash pine (pinus elliottii distribution loblolly pine grows on the coastal plain and piedmont from southern new jersey to eastern texas and as far south as central florida (fig. Its wide range, occurrence in pure stands, and general utility make it the most com-mercially important southern pine species.
Long-term remeasurement data were used to evaluate different approaches to predicting basal area growth in thinned slash pine.
Loblolly pine is a fast growing tree that can be harvested for pole wood and pine straw in just a few short years.
) plantation growing on land of high site quality near bogalusa, louisiana were studied.
Influence annual height growth, and to construct prediction equations which quantify the relatio n sh ip and establish the trend of the so il moisture regime through the year. Five slash pine plantations ranging in age from 11 to 18 years were chosen for study.
In these plantations, every other row is slash pine and the rows between are loblolly pine.
Uses of slash pine: because of its rapid growth rate, slash pine has great valuable for tree planting on timber plantations, especially in the southeastern united states. Slash pine supplies a large portion of the resin and turpentine produced in the united states. History suggests that the tree has produced most of the world's oleoresin over.
To measure the effect of disking and bedding on the growth of slash pine ( haywood, 1983; tiarks, 1983).
Slash pine is usually preferred on wet, poorly drained flatwoods sites; loblolly is favored on moist to better-drained soils. Loblolly is favored on good sites where hardwood competition is a problem because slash pine is less tolerant of hardwood competition. Slash pine grows better than loblolly pine on poorly drained sites where phosphorus is limited (determined by a soil test) if the site is not fertilized.
Feb 16, 2017 now in the southeast, it is grown in plantations in countless numbers as a major source of pulpwood, and for the paper industry.
Since then, such information has been accumulating at an ever increasing rate until today, there is considerable data available on slash pine plantation growth.
Slash pine is planted on a wide range of soil types in the southeast, and fertil ization is a common silvicultural treatment. The second objective is to analyze the effects of soil type and fertilization on the isolines of the diagram.
Time, transition their even-aged loblolly (or slash) pine stands to uneven-aged the site is a 15-year-old, 50-acre loblolly pine plantation on a typical coastal plain site.
Data through age 26 from a well-designed study established in 1979 were analyzed with a repeated-measures analysis of variance approach to evaluate effects of site preparation treatments, complete competition control, and repeated fertilization on growth of slash pine (pinus elliottii engelm. ) plantations on spodosols and non-spodosols in the flatwoods region of southern georgia.
Non technical summary growth and yield of loblolly and slash pine plantations in east texas and west louisiana is not well understood, especially for intensively managed plantations. This project will provide reliable growth and yield information for plantations growing in the west gulf coastal plain region which are under-represented in other existing forest growth and yield models.
Dominant height growth in slash pine plantations following fertilization (bailey, martin and jokela, 1996). Those models were fit with data from the criff v100, b300 and b400 studies. In the time since that report, additional criff b400 and b500 series data became available.
Slash pine plantations including competition control, fertilization (loblolly and slash only), with the sims model was use for longleaf pine growth and yields.
This paper presents the 14 year results of the slash pine competing vegetation study. Paired permanent plots were established in 36 existing 9 to 15 year old site-prepared slash pine plantations in the flatwoods of georgia and north florida.
Slash pine planted on an average old-field site (index 65, 25-year basis) will grow about three feet annually for the first 15 years.
A comparison of slash and loblolly plantations in north- west louisiana (outside the natural range of slash pine) indicated comparable growth and yield values.
The growth of many pine plantations in the southern united states is limited by soil nutrient availability. Therefore, forest fertilization is a common silvicultural practice throughout the south.
Prediction of growth after thinning in old-field slash pine plantations [pinus elliottii yield, mensuration] [1980].
Climatic effects on the first and second rotation dominant and codominant heights for flatwoods slash pine plantations: age 20 results.
Pinus elliottii, commonly known as slash pine, is a conifer tree in the southeastern united slash pines are able to grow in an array of soils, but pine stands that are close pine industry in particular was booming with an increase.
More acres of planted slash pine are also approaching a merchantable condition than any other species, even though the bulk of the plantings has been in the last 20 years. Because most planting is so recent, there has been a lack of information on the growth and yield of slash pine plantations.
Because of its rapid growth rate, slash pine is a valuable tree for reforestation projects and timber plantations throughout the southeastern united states. As a result, slash pines are currently planted, grown, and harvested over millions of acres. The trees take 30 years to reach sawtimber size (greater than 9 inches in diameter).
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.
Exotic conifer trees have been extensively planted in southern china because of their high apparent growth and yield.
