Survival Of Pines On Droughty Soils: Two-Year Results, James Kroll, William C. Deauman, C. Darwin Foster, David Kulhavy, W. David Tracey

Three species of pines (loblolly, slash and longleaf) were planted with four treatments (loblolly and slash = bareroot, clay dip slurry and TerrasorH ; longleaf = containerized) to test survival on droughty, typic quartzipsamments soils. At the end of the first season, survival~s significantly better for the containerized longleaf and Terrasoro treated loblolly pine (81 and 85%) followed by untreaRed loblolly pine (51%), clay-treated loblolly (50%), then Terrasorb treated slash (48%), untreated slash (41%) and clay-treated slash (36%). At the e~of the second growing season, longleaf had 56% survival, Terrasor~ treated loblolly (51%), clay-dip slurry loblolly (31.9%), Terrasoro treated slash …
Establishment Of Permanent Growth And Yield Plots In Loblolly And Slash Pine Plantations, J. David Lenhart, Ellis V. Hunt Jr., Jock A. Blackard
Establishment Of Permanent Growth And Yield Plots In Loblolly And Slash Pine Plantations, J. David Lenhart, Ellis V. Hunt Jr., Jock A. Blackard
Faculty Publications
Permanent plots have been established in 178 loblolly and 78 slash pine plantations throughout East Texas to study the development of stand structure over time. Analysis of the data will provide methods of estimating growth and yield, mortality, and site productivity to assist managers of these plantations.
