Harvesting effects on the hydrology of wet pine flats
Wet pine flats are some of the most productive and intensively-managed wetland forests in the eastern United States. Wet-weather logging of these sites causes extensive rutting and churning of the soil surface and may alter the subsurface flow of soil water. An operational-scale experiment was …

Loblolly Pine and Soil-Site Responses to Harvesting Disturbance and Site Preparation at Stand Closure
… treatments on the long-term productivity of pine plantations is difficult because, in addition to harvesting effects, growth distributions are affected by changes in climate, silviculture, and genetics. The primary objectives of this study were to determine (1) whether logging disturbances …

Long term effects of wet site timber harvesting and site preparation on soil properties and loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) productivity in the lower Atlantic Coastal Plain
… suggested that ground based timber harvesting on wet sites can alter soil properties and inhibit early survival and growth of seedlings. Persistence of such negative effects may translate to losses in forest productivity over a rotation. During the fall and winter of 1989, numerous salvage logging …

Mitigation of harvesting disturbances on a forested wetland in the South Carolina lower coastal plain
Wet site timber harvesting often results in rutted and/or compacted soils. These impacts damage inherent site and soil properties and can reduce subsequent pine seedling survival and growth. Site preparation treatments such as bedding, disking, and fertilization are often employed on harvested …

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, …
