Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.) Plantation Response to Mechanical Site Preparation in the South Carolina and Georgia Piedmont
Site preparation is fundamental for establishing loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations, but long-term sustainability of plantations established using mechanical treatments is in question because of concerns regarding soil tillage and the removal of harvest residue and soil organic matter. A …

Destination of Isotopic Nitrogen Fertilizer Under Varying Herbicide Regimes in a Mid-Rotation Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.) Plantation in the Piedmont of Virginia, USA
… of the most common silvicultural treatments in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations in the southeastern United States. Competing vegetation is commonly thought to sequester fertilizer nitrogen (N) and reduce the potential growth response to a mid-rotation fertilization treatment. This …

Soil Carbon Dioxide Efflux in Response to Fertilization and Mulching Treatments in a Two-Year-Old Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.) Plantation in the Virginia Piedmont
… monthly over an entire year in a two-year-old loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantation subjected to fertilization and mulching treatments. A dynamic, closed-chamber infrared gas analysis system was used to measure efflux rates from plots treated with one of four treatment combinations …

Relationships Among Soil Properties and Soil CO2 Efflux in a Loblolly Pine-Switchgrass Intercropped System
… switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) in a loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantation. Surface soil samples (0-15 cm) were collected on the bed (PSG-B), interbed (PSG-I) and edge (PSG-E) of pine-switchgrass intercropped treatments, as well as pine only (P-B) and switchgrass only (SG-I) …

Nutrient Retention and Cycling in Southeastern U.S. Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.) and Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua L.) Plantations
Forest plantations in the southeastern U.S. are fertilized to increase growth on infertile, sandy soils. Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are the most common growth limiting nutrients. A key question that arises following fertilization of these soils is whether the applied fertilizer benefits only …

Physical and Hydrologic Responses of an Intensively Managed Loblolly Pine Plantation to Forest Harvesting and Site Preparation
The Southeastern Lower Coastal Plain wet pine flats include thousands of acres of jurisdictional wetlands that are economically, socially, and environmentally important. These highly productive forests have been intensively managed as pine plantations for the past few decades. More recently, …

Streamside Management Zone effectiveness for protecting water quality following forestland application of biosolids
… three intermittent streams in an 18-year-old Pinus taeda L. plantation. We applied biosolids outside the SMZ on one side of each of the streams maintaining the other side of the stream as control. We collected water samples from the three treated and six reference streams as well as from the …
