Growth and Yield in Managed Natural Stands of Loblolly and Shortleaf Pine in the West Gulf Coastal Plain

摘要

A thinning study in even-aged second-growth loblolly-shortleaf pine (Pinus taeda and P. echinata) stands is being conducted near Crossett, Arkansas. This study has told us how thinning method and stand density affect tree size, standing volumes at different ages, growth rates, and total yields on good and medium pine sites in the West Gulf Coastal Plain.
