The Longleaf Drama

摘要

Publication of research findings was an important phase of our battle to "save the longleaf." As studies were completed, our results were published in the Journal of Forestry and other scientific and popular outlets. Forest Farmer ran an article on early results from our shelterwood tests. In 1969 our annotated bibliography listed all significant publications on longleaf pine since Wahlenberg's monograph in 1946. Our findings on natural regeneration, especially with the shelter-wood system, were published in a summary bulletin in 1975. Coverage was comprehensive including basic ecological and biotic factors, an evaluation of several regeneration systems, and detailed coverage of the shelterwood system.
