Geographic Variation in Slash Pine (Pinus Elliottii Engelm.)


Book Description

This book is a comprehensive study of geographic variations in the species of slash pine known as Pinus Elliottii Engelm. It explores the reasons behind this variability and the implications for forestry management. The book includes an in-depth analysis of the ecological and environmental factors that influence the distribution and growth of this species, as well as the various forestry practices that can be used to promote its sustainable growth. This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations. Within the United States, you may freely copy and distribute this work, as no entity (individual or corporate) has a copyright on the body of the work.

Effect of Seed Source and Fertilization on Slash Pine Seedling Growth and Development


Book Description

Pinus elliottii Engelm. var. seedlings were selected from 10 seed sources in the eastern and central portions of the natural range of the species. They were grown for 2 years in potted flatwoods soil under six fertilization treatments: two levels of phosphorus (P), all essential nutrients (E) except P, two levels of E plus P, and unfertilized controls. The seedlings differed in growth and nutrient absorption. Trees from coastal seed sources grew slower, especially when unfertilized or fertilized with E or E+P, and accumulated the least amount of nutrients when unfertilized. As long as other nutrients were not limiting, seedlings from middle coastal plain sources grew more rapidly than those from flatwoods sources under conditions of low available P. Large growth increases resulted from fertilization. Phosphorus alone had no effect on tree growth, but the E fertilization treatment significantly increased tree growth. the combined fertilizers, E+P, resulted in greatest growth and nutrient absorption. Phosphorus fertilization resulted in significant decreases in N and K contents, both in foliage and in total seedling.

Pines of Silvicultural Importance


Book Description

Pines are the most economically important group of trees in the world, covering large parts of the Northern Hemisphere and also being of silvicultural significance in many countries in the Southern Hemisphere. This book is compiled from 65 datasheets on pine from the Forestry Compendium Global Module (published by CABI on CD-ROM). For each species, there is information on common names, taxonomy, botanical features, natural distribution, latitude range, climate, soil properties, silvicultural characteristics, pests, wood and non-wood products.
