Abstract:
This data publication contains growth and yield data from eleven longleaf pine growth and yield studies on plantations in the West Gulf Region (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida). These studies implemented various thinning treatments and some fertilization. Data include site measurements such as soil type and depth, and then various tree-related variables measured between 1950 and 2021 such as: diameter at breast height, height, age, height to base of live crown, bole lengths, crown class and width, and heights to different tree diameters. Also included are multiple supplemental files that contain additional information about each of these studies.
