Provenance Variation in Pinus palustris Foliar δ13C [PDF]
Longleaf pine forests are currently being restored in the southern U.S. To aid in the deployment of longleaf pine under current and future climate conditions, we tested the hypothesis that genetic variability in foliar carbon isotope composition (δ13C) exists in this species.

Does long-term fire suppression impact leaf litter breakdown and aquatic invertebrate colonization in pine flatwoods wetlands? [PDF]
Ephemeral wetlands are commonly embedded within pine uplands of the southeastern United States. These wetlands support diverse communities but have often been degraded by a lack of growing-season fires that historically maintained the vegetation ...

Conservation and restoration of the Pinus palustris ecosystem
Abstract. The well‐documented decline of the Pinus palustris ecosystem has resulted from several anthropogenic influences, such as forest clearing (e.g. pine plantation forestry, agriculture) and urban development, both of which are closely related to increases in human populations.

Drought tolerance of a Pinus palustris plantation
Abstract Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) forests are thought to be drought tolerant and if so, planting longleaf pine presents a forest management strategy for climate change adaptation in the southeastern United States (U.S.). To better understand how longleaf pine copes with drought, leaf water relations, sap flow, canopy stomatal conductance

Adult bobcat (Lynx rufus) habitat selection in a longleaf pine savanna
Background Pine savannas are primarily managed with frequent prescribed fire (≤ 3 years) to promote diversity of flora and fauna, and to maintain open, park-like conditions needed by species such as the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides ...
