The long history of fire in North America spans millennia and is recognized as an important driver in the widespread and long-term dominance of oak species. Early European settlers intensified the occurrence of fire from about 1850 to 1950, with dates varying by region. This resulted in much forest ...

This paper presents the results of a study undertaken to determine the financial return from the timber commodities (wood products, feedstock and carbon sequestration) in planted loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) stands in the southern USA. Result show that on the high silvicultural index (SI) site, the...

This paper presents the results of a study on loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) foliar patterns and growth dynamics at age 12 in response to planting density and cultural intensity. The results suggest that trees of a given diameter at breast height (d.b.h.) had similar crown characteristics regardless...
