| Approximately 38 million hectares were dominated by longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) forests in the Southeastern United States prior to European settlement. Frequent disturbances, especially fire, made this species dominant, and also created an uneven-aged, irregular forest structure in the region. However, with the arrival of Europeans, exploitation of longleaf forests began, large areas were cleared, and as a result, about 97% of longleaf forests were lost to agriculture or conversion to other dominant species such as loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.). Although a concern about the restoration of longleaf ecosystems has increased in recent years, practical methods to accomplish this goal are only beginning to be implemented. Beginning in the 1950s, many of the original restoration studies on regeneration of longleaf pine focused on even-aged (EA) silvicultural techniques because these techniques were … |
