UF Extension Team Pens Publication on Management Practices to Support Increased Biodiversity in Managed Loblolly Pine Plantations
by Michael Andreu, Kevin Zobrist, and Thomas Hinckley. When European settlers first arrived in North America, it is estimated that the southern U.S. had 200 million acres in pine, mixed oak, and other forest systems. Pine savannahs and open woodlands containing longleaf (Pinus palustris Mill.), loblolly (Pinus taeda L.), shortleaf (Pinus echinata Mill.), slash (Pinus elliottii Engelm.), and pond (Pinus serotina Michx.) pine were dominant.
