Discussion in a thinned old-field Longleaf stand (planted in December 1986) where pine straw production was a management objective prior to thinning and a Longleafseed source study.
Old-field Longleaf pine stand discussion points: pine straw management, stand management pre- and post-thin, prescribe fire use, planting spacing, thinning, % defect, Longleaf growth rate through age 21-yrs, growing poles, herbicide use, fertilization, and economics.
Longleaf seed source study discussion points—seed source survival and eventual % out of the grass stage, growth and stem quality differences over time.
