Climatic response in tree rings of loblolly pine from north Georgia
  • Climatic response in tree rings of loblolly pine from north Georgia
  • The relationship between climate and tree-growth for loblolly pine in north Georgia is investigated by : 1) determining during which months climate has its strongest impact on loblolly pine growth, and 2) specifically examining the relationship
  • between loblolly pine growth and growing season precipitation. The results indicate that loblolly pine is a useful species for investigating the impact of climate and other factors on the recent decline of pine growth in the southeastern United States.
Effects of ice storms, southern pine beetle infestation, and fire on Table Mountain pine forests of southwestern Virginia
  • Effects of ice storms, southern pine beetle infestation, and fire on Table Mountain pine forests of southwestern Virginia
  • Aridity ; Biogenic process ; Biogeography ; Forest ; Forest fire ; Mountain ; Pine ; Population dynamics ; Twentieth Century ; United States of America ; Virginia
  • The AA. investigated Table Mountain pine stands growing on dry, west facing slopes in southwestern Virginia. In stands the AA. sampled most Table Mountain pines belonged to a cohort that originated in the early 1900s, probably following a severe
  • burn. Recent disturbances changed the stands considerably : ice storms, pine beetle infestation. These disturbances stimulated little pine regeneration. The results suggest that without fire, long-term maintenace of Table Mountain pine is improbable.

  • This study examines soil physical and chemical properties and measures the concentration of a suite of soil and foliar tissue elements from sand pine (Pinus clausa) populations scattered throughout Florida. The AA. document significant
  • bioconcentration of nutrients in sand pine foliage and compare observed foliar nutrient concentrations with those typical of other southern pines. They test for systematic differences in soil and foliar elemental concentrations associated with both varietal

  • Biogeography ; California ; Climatic variability ; Forest ; Microclimate ; National park ; Pine ; Soil properties ; United States ; Vegetation dynamics
  • Diameter structure, age/diameter regressions, and stem dispersion patterns reveal spatial variability in lodgepole pine forest structure and dynamics in Lassen Volcanic National Park (LVNP). Spatial variability in this early successional species
