Modeling maximum size-density relationships of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations
Self-thinning quantifies the reduction in tree numbers due to density-dependent mortality. Maximum size-density relationships (MSDRs) are a component of self-thinning that describe the maximum tree density per unit area obtainable for a given average tree size, often quadratic mean diameter (D). An …

Diagnosis of Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.) Nutrient Deficiencies by Foliar Methods
Quick identification of loblolly pine nutrient deficiencies has troubled foresters who wish to increase productivity through fertilization. In the past, extensive field trials were established that did not allow for quick identification of a large number of possibly limiting nutrients in individual …

Effects of Excessive Soil Phosphorus Accumulation on Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.) Seedlings
… of these pastures to loblolly pine (<em>Pinus taeda</em> L.) plantations is often problematic, with poor seedling survival and abnormal tree growth. This study was conducted to assess the effects of excessive soil phosphorus on loblolly pine seedlings. An outdoor pot study was conducted …

Genomic Selection and Genome-Wide Association Study in Populus trichocarpa and Pinus taeda
… for height, diameter, and stem straightness in Pinus taeda. GEBVs accuracies were estimated using a ridge regression–best linear unbiased prediction (rrBLUP) model, and these accuracies were compared with estimated heritabilities. GWAS was also performed for the both imputed and non–imputed data …

Stand dynamics, growth, and yield of genetically enhanced loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.)
Genetic improvement has been an integral part of loblolly pine plantation forestry in southern United States for about 60 years with focus on improving timber yield, wood quality, and pest and disease resistance. Advances in techniques of genetic selection, breeding, and propagation of planting …

Precision Forestry: Using LiDAR to Optimize Row Thinning in Pinus taeda (L.) Plantations
… LiDAR to assess individual-tree stem volumes in Pinus taeda L. plantations in the southeast US. Currently, starting rows in commercial row thinning operations are arbitrarily selected, but the study used LiDAR collected stem volume data to inform starting row selection. Three study sites were …

Characterization of lignin deposition in <i>Pinus taeda</i> L. cell suspension cultures
<i>Pinus taeda</i> L. suspension culture cells were used to develop a model system to study the process of lignification occurring during the early stages of cell wall formation and maturation. Chemical, biochemical and histochemical analyses of the <i>P. taeda</i> suspension cultures grown with …

Quantification and Physiology of Carbon Dynamics in Intensively Managed Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.)
Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) occupies 13 million hectares in the United States and represents a critical component of the global carbon (C) cycle. Forest management alters C dynamics, affecting the C sequestration capacity of a site. Identifying drivers that influence C cycling, quantifying C …

Effects of Excessive Soil Phosphorus on Pinus taeda L. Nutrient Uptake, Survival, and Growth
… the successful establishment of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations, with high mortality of seedlings and atypical tree form. These fields often acquired high P soil concentrations as a result of decades of poultry litter applications. While excessive P has been recognized in horticulture …

Dynamic modeling of branches and knot formation in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) trees
… and self-pruning of branches in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) trees was developed. A data set was obtained from a destructive sampling of whorl sections from 34 trees growing under different initial spacing. Data from dissected branches were used to develop a model for representing knot shape, …

Modelling inter- and intra-specific competition effects in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations
… available stand simulators for loblolly pine (<i>Pinus taeda</i> L.) plantations. Competition was found to affect the distribution parameters such as coefficient of variation, skewness, and the general shapes of distributions for diameter measurements, total height, crown width and crown height. …

Needleless shoots and loss of apical dominance in greenhouse-grown loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.)
Loblolly pine that is winter-sown in the greenhouse and spring-outplanted has been observed to exhibit growth abnormalities in the form of multiple apical and needleless shoots. Seedlings that exhibit growth abnormalities are of questionable value in the evaluation of progeny tests. The use growth …

Pinus taeda growth and phosphorus uptake as affected by interactions of mycorrhizae and supplemental phosphorus
A greenhouse study was initiated to asses P uptake, growth, colonization, total mycorrhizal P levels, and mycorrhizal polyphosphate levels in loblolly pine seedlings colonized with different ectomycorrhizal fungi and grown in a Piedmont soil. The pine seedlings were inoculated with one of four …
