Growth and physiology of loblolly pine in response to long-term resource management: defining growth potential in the southern United States

Leaf physiology and stem growth were assessed in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) in response to 10 to 11 years of treatment with weed control (W), weed control plus irrigation (WI), weed control plus irrigation and fertigation (WIF), or weed control plus irrigation, fertigation, and pest control (WIFP) to determine whether increased resource...

Coopers Rock Crop Tree Demonstration Area—20-year results

During the 1988/1989 dormant season, the Coopers Rock Crop Tree Demonstration Area was established in a 55-year-old central Appalachian hardwood forest in north-central West Virginia. After treatment, 89 northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.) and 147 yellow-poplar (Liriodentron tulipifera L.) crop trees were monitored for 20 years....

Field performance of Populus expressing somaclonal variation in resistance to Septoria musiva

Over 1500 trees from two hybrid poplar clones regenerated from tissue culture and expressing somatic variation in leaf disease resistance in a laboratory leaf disk bioassay were field-tested for 5-11 years to examine their resistance to Septoria leaf spot and canker and to assess their growth characteristics compared with the source clones....

Maximum growth potential in loblolly pine: results from a 47-year-old spacing study in Hawaii

Growth, allocation to woody root biomass, wood properties, leaf physiology, and shoot morphology were examined in a 47-year-old loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) density trial located in Maui, Hawaii, to determine if stands continued to carry the high density, basal area, and volume reported at younger ages and to identify potential factors controlling...

Branch growth and gas exchange in 13-year-old loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) trees in response to elevated carbon dioxide concentration and fertilization

Summary We used whole-tree, open-top chambers to expose 13-year-old loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) trees, growing in soil with high or low nutrient availability, to either ambient or elevated (ambient + 200 µmol mol^-1 ) carbon dioxide concentration ([CO₂]) for 28 months. Branch growth...

Simulated response of conterminous United States ecosystems to climate change at different levels of fire suppression, CO₂ emission rate, and growth response to CO₂

A modeling experiment was designed to investigate the impact of fire management, CO₂ emission rate, and the growth response to CO₂ on the response of ecosystems in the conterminous United States to climate scenarios produced by three different general circulation models (GCMs) as simulated by the MCl Dynamic General...

Phenotypic analysis of first-year traits in a pseudo-backcross {(slash x loblolly) x slash} and the ope-pollinated families of the pure-species progenitors

A single test, including one pseudo-backcross (Pinus elliottii x Pinus taeda) x P. elliottii and openpollinated families of the pure species progenitors, was established in North Central Florida in December 2007 to study the transfer of the fast-growing characteristics from a P. taeda L. (loblolly pine) parent into the P. elliottii Engelm. (slash pine) background....

Growth, Photosynthesis, and Cold Tolerance of Eucalyptus benthamii Planted in the Piedmont of North Carolina

Inadequate cold tolerance of Eucalyptus spp. has limited a broader deployment beyond subtropical regions of the United States. We examined growth, photosynthetic rate, and cold tolerance of a cold-hardy Eucalypt (Eucalyptus benthamii) planted in North Carolina and compared the results with native Pinus taeda

Biophysical controls on soil respiration in the dominant patch types of an old-growth, mixed-conifer forest

Little is known about biophysical controls on soil respiration in California's Sierra Nevada old-growth, mixed-conifer forests. Using portable and automated soil respiration sampling units, we measured soil respiration rate (SRR) in three dominant patch types: closed canopy (CC), ceanothus-dominated patches (CECO), and open canopy (OC). SRR varied significantly...

Wisconsin Forests 2014

This report summarizes the third annual inventory of Wisconsin?s forests, conducted 2009?2014. Wisconsin?s forests cover 17.1 million acres with 16.6 million acres classified as timberland. Forests are bountiful in the north with Florence, Forest, Menominee, and Vilas Counties having over 90 percent forest cover. In the southeastern part of the State, forest cover is...

Species diversity of polyporoid and corticioid fungi in northern hardwood forests with differing management histories

Effects of forest management on fungal diversity were investigated by sampling fruit bodies of polyporoid and corticioid fungi in forest stands that have different management histories. Fruit bodies were sampled in 15 northern hardwood stands in northern Wisconsin and the upper peninsula of Michigan. Sampling was conducted in five old-growth stands, five uneven-age...

Modeling the effects of forest management on in situ and ex situ longleaf pine forest carbon stocks

Assessment of forest carbon storage dynamics requires a variety of techniques including simulation models. We developed a hybrid model to assess the effects of silvicultural management systems on carbon (C) budgets in longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) plantations in the southeastern U.S. To simulate in situ C pools, the model integrates a growth and yield model...

Survival and growth of deep-planted, in-leaf grafts in a germplasm repository of canker-resistant butternut

Butternut (Juglans cinerea L.), highly valued for its timber and nuts, occurs as widely scattered trees or isolated stands throughout the Central Hardwood region (Rink 1990). The introduced fungus Sirococcus clavigignenti-juglandacearum has rapidly cankered, girdled, and killed most of the butternut trees; however, a few trees that...

Physiological girdling of pine trees via phloem chilling: proof of concept

Quantifying below-ground carbon (C) allocation is particularly difficult as methods usually disturb the root? mycorrhizal?soil continuum. We reduced C allocation below ground of loblolly pine trees by: (1) physically girdling trees and (2) physiologically girdling pine trees by chilling the phloem. Chilling reduced cambium temperatures by approximately 18 °C. Both...

Long-term impact of shoot blight disease on red pine saplings

Damage from Sirococcus and Diplodia shoot blights of red pine is widespread and periodically severe in the Lake States. An outbreak of shoot blight occurred in red pine sapling plantations across northern Wisconsin, northern Minnesota, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in 1993. We established monitoring plots in red pine sapling...
