Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.) Plantation Response to Mechanical Site Preparation in the South Carolina and Georgia Piedmont
… data, carbon accumulation during old-field succession increased fourfold compared to agricultural sites on the nearby Calhoun Experimental Forest. Carbon accumulation on these old-field loblolly pine sites reached quasi-equilibrium after 40 years as shown by uncut reference stands. …

An examination of temporal trends, regional variation, and habitat-type differences in site-level Floristic Quality, and their implications for the use of Floristic Quality Assessment
… Quality trends were compared using a 50-year, old-field succession study. Values in all fields followed the same asymptotic pattern, reaching a peak after around 35-years. The consistency of FQA values over time show that when sites of different ages are compared with one another, an asymptotic …
