Description:

Abstract:

This data publication contains data associated with two studies examining the effects of simulated crown scorch to the survival and growth of southern pine. Studies were done at six plantations located in South Carolina (Aiken and Branchville), Georgia (Bainbridge and Waycross), and Florida (Palatka). Data consists of tree height and diameter at breast height (dbh) measurements for 600 plantation-grown slash pine and 600 plantation-grown loblolly pine between 1986 and 1999 after varying degrees of manual defoliation (0, 33, 66, 95, or 100 percent) were applied during different seasons. The number of annual grown flushes was also recorded on two different occasions. The data also include dbh and tree height measurements, from 1993 to 2012, for 450 plantation-grown longleaf pine after varying degrees of manual defoliation (0, 95, or 100 percent) during the fall and early winter.

Purpose:

The purpose of the initial defoliation study was to determine the survival and growth responses of slash pine and loblolly pine to differing degrees of manual defoliation (0, 33, 66, 95, or 100 percent) to simulate the effects of foliage loss from crown scorch during prescribed fires. A second study of longleaf pine seedlings was done to determine the response to manual defoliation (0, 95, or 100 percent) late in the growing season.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

See data descriptions for accuracy information.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Field measurements were recorded in-field and verified by recorder calling out measurement to measurer. Data were transcribed and compared to original tally sheets to determine data entry errors.

Completeness_Report:

Initial measurements of dbh and height were made at the time of study establishment. Due to time and travel constraints, dbh and height of only the spring and summer defoliations were measured for slash pine at the Palatka and Waycross locations in July, 1986. No measurements were made at Palatka, Waycross, or Branchville in September/October 1986 for the same reason.

When a tree died at any location, no further measurements were made resulting in missing data. If a tree could not be located at the time of measurement, missing data resulted but the tree was not listed as dead.

A breakdown in communication resulted in no height growth flush data being measured at Bainbridge in January 1987. Travel and funding constraints prevented measurement of height growth flush data at Waycross in January 1990.

All loblolly and slash pine sites were visited in the fall of 1999 to relocate and remeasure surviving trees. Approximately one third of the trees were relocated and all treatments except October 100% defoliation at Bainbridge were represented by at least 2 trees.

A wildfire occurred at Waycross between 1991 and 1999.

Tree thinning occurred at Bainbridge and Branchville.

Dbh and height measurements of longleaf pine were made between study establishment in August 1993 and study termination in August 1999. While extensive effort was made to relocate and remeasure all of the surviving longleaf trees in April 2012, only a small proportion of the trees were relocated and identified due to the loss of tree tags. This resulted in missing data for the trees which could not be relocated. At SRFS, tree #1 in row 7 was relocated and measured even though it had died recently.

Methodology_Description:

Defoliation study (\Data\loblolly_slash.csv)

Single species pine plantations located a minimum of 50 miles apart were selected by the cooperating companies to meet the study design constraints which were trees 4 years of age between 8 and 11 feet in height. The plantations used in this study were in Bainbridge, GA; Branchville, SC; Palatka, FL; and Waycross, GA. These plantations contained slash pine and loblolly pine. Defoliation was applied by manually removing needles, starting from the bottom of the crown and proceeding upwards to simulate the effects of foliage loss from crown scorch from prescribed fire. A randomized block design was used with a block consisting of a row within the plantation. A full factorial treatment design was applied in each plantation and replicated 15 times. One of five levels of defoliation (0, 33, 66, 95, or 100 percent) was applied to the tree during one of four periods (January, April, July, and October) resulting in 20 treatments. These defoliation treatments were applied in April, July, October of 1986 or January 1987. Tree diameter (at breast height) and height measurements were taken in April, July, and October of 1986, January and July of 1987, and then every January from 1988 through 1991. The number of height growth flushes was also recorded for a few of the plantations in this study in 1987 and 1990, but not consistently for all. Trees were relocated and identified at Bainbridge, Palatka, and Waycross in August of 1999 and at Branchville in October of 1999. Tree diameter (at breast height) and total height were measured.

Longleaf study (\Data\longleaf.csv)

Using the same treatment application method and a focus on defoliation late in the growing season, longleaf pine seedlings were manually defoliated at 0, 95, or 100 percent during one of five two-week periods from September to December 1993 resulting in 15 treatments at each of 2 plantations: Savannah River Forest Station near Aiken, GA and Waycross, GA. A randomized block complete design was used with 15 replications at each location. Tree diameter (at breast height) and heights were measured in August of 1993, February and November of 1995, August of 1999 and then in April of 2012.
