The Effect of Variable Organic Matter On Site Productivity, Soil Nutrients, and Carbon on a Southern Loblolly Pine Plantation
This study examined the effect of manipulating forest floor and harvest residue inputs on nutrient availability and carbon content in the context of intensive forest management. Treatments were removal and addition of ...
Dynamics of Understory Tree Seedling Recruitment and Growth of Advance Regeneration Following Variable-Density Thinning of Second-Growth Conifer Stands in the Pacific Northwest
With a growing desire to generate structural characteristics of late-successional conifer forests, managers are commonly seeking an approach to increase structural heterogeneity in otherwise simple second-growth stands. ...
Factors Influencing the Use of Consulting Foresters by Non-Industrial Private Forest Landowners in Mississippi
This study describes landowners’ willingness to hire consulting foresters and compares forest management expenses between the 1990s (1995-1997) and 2015. Two thousand and ten Mississippi non-industrial private forest (NIPF) ...
Populus Species and Hybrids for Use on Bottomland and Upland Sites in the Southern United States
The objective of this research is to evaluate the performance of Populus species and hybrid poplars in short rotation biomass production systems. Eastern cottonwood and hybrid clones were evaluated at both an alluvial and ...
Investigating the Influence of Image Resolution on Longleaf Pine Identification in Multispectral Satellite Data
In previous research, longleaf pine was shown to be spectrally separable from loblolly pine when using high-resolution multispectral data from the WorldView-2 imaging satellite. However, analysis of such high-resolution ...
Fuels Treatment Longevity of Mechanical Mastication and Growth Response of Ponderosa Pine (Pinus Ponderosa) in Northern California
Many fire-prone forests in western North America suffer from hazardous fuel conditions. Mechanical mastication is an increasingly common method of fuels treatment, but little is known regarding long-term effectiveness. A ...
Economic Contributions of Forest-Based Industries in the South
The South is one of the leading timber producing regions in the world. Monitoring economic contribution of the forest products industry in the South over time is thus crucial in addressing critical economic issues and in ...
Economic Impacts of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation Expenditures across the U.S. South
Fishing, hunting and wildlife-associated recreation expenditures have played an important role in the U.S. economy. The 2006 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service survey reported 87.5 million people participated in wildlife-associated ...
Assessing Two Year Growth and Survival of Two Oak Species and Three Planting Stocks on Hurricane Katrina Damaged Land
Hurricane Katrina made landfall in 2005 damaging 1.2 billion cubic meters of timber including 48 million cubic meters of hardwood. An economically efficient method of artificial oak regeneration is necessary in many areas ...
Early Growth and Survival of Two Oak Species and Three Planting Stocks on Lands Disturbed by Hurricane Katrina
On two sites in south Mississippi, growth and survival of two oak species, Shumard oak (Quercus shumardii) and swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michauxii), and three planting stocks: 1-0 bareroot, conventional containerized, ...
