Herpetofauna Richness, Diversity, and Occurrence at the Northern Ecotone of Longleaf Pine [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Habitat suitability commonly differs between the core and periphery of ecosystems. The longleaf pine ecosystem is recognized for its value in providing habitat to a variety of specialist and endemic species, especially herpetofauna.

Growth, proportion, and distribution pattern of longleaf pine across southeastern forests and disturbance types: A change assessment for the period 1997-2018. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2021
The long-term decline of longleaf pine-dominated forests has received considerable attention among land managers and conservation professionals in the last few decades. The objective of this study was to investigate the change in and the variation of the

Evidence of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Limitation in Longleaf Pine Savanna Understories [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Due to anthropogenic pressures, only 3% of the historic extent of the biodiverse longleaf pine ecosystem remains, much of which is degraded. Fire is necessary for maintaining longleaf pine savanna structure, function, and biodiversity; however, it also ...

Frequently burned loblolly–shortleaf pine forest in the southeastern United States lacks the stability of longleaf pine forest

Ecosphere, 2020
In recent decades, conservation objectives have driven changes to the management of some pine forests in the southeastern United States. Forest thinning and frequent burning of old‐field and plantation pine forests have resulted in an open loblolly ...

Adaptive silviculture for climate change in North American forests: Operationalizing the resistance-resilience-transition framework. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract The impacts of global climate change have compelled forest managers to evaluate their practices and ecosystems, considering when and how to resist change, promote resilience, or facilitate transitions. Forest adaptation has made significant strides to move from theory to practice over the last two decades, with widespread examples of ...

Combined impact of semantic segmentation and quantitative structure modelling of Southern pine trees using terrestrial laser scanning [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Southern pine forests play a key role in the ecological function and economic vitality of the southeastern United States. High-resolution terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) has become an indispensable tool for advancing tree structural research and ...

Projecting the long‐term effects of large‐scale human influence on the spatial and functional persistence of extant longleaf pine ecosystems in the Florida Flatwoods Pyrome

Conservation Science and Practice
Decades of human activities and fire suppression have adversely affected longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) ecosystems, which are home to high levels of diversity and endemism.

Land-use history and contemporary management inform an ecological reference model for longleaf pine woodland understory plant communities. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Ecological restoration is frequently guided by reference conditions describing a successfully restored ecosystem; however, the causes and magnitude of ecosystem degradation vary, making simple knowledge of reference conditions insufficient for ...
