Name: Pinus palustris Planted Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association includes young, monospecific plantation stands of <i>Pinus palustris</i> that are maintained for the extraction of forest products. The core concept of these stands are those which are mechanically planted to dense, often perfect rows of planted <i>Pinus palustris</i> or otherwise dense, young stands which are managed and maintained for the extraction of forest products. Stands are typically established with mechanical planting, but may also be established through other means. In most cases these stands support almost no other tree species in the overstory, and typically very little understory. This association rarely exceeds 20-40 years of age on most timberlands. In North and South Carolina, pinestraw is commonly harvested from these forests. This association does not include natural or near-natural <i>Pinus palustris</i> forests that retain some natural ground layer components and that will be managed for restoration of a natural longleaf pine community even though the <i>Pinus palustris</i> may have been planted.
