| The potential for long-distance seed dispersal by longleaf pine was also demonstrated by estimations of seed dispersal into the 75 m plots. |
|
| The highest elevations of the ridge, where longleaf and slash pines dominate open forests, are known as sandhills. |
|
| Since longleaf pine does not produce annual growth rings during its juvenile grass stage, true age cannot be determined. |
|
| In the northeastern part of the area is a sand ridge supporting turkey oak, sand live oak, wax myrtle, Chapman oak, and longleaf pine. |
|
| Restoration of longleaf pine ecosystems in the Southeast involves removal of large volumes of timber suitable for pulpwood. |
|
| Generally only a very hot fire, one fueled by drought and a heavy buildup of fallen leaves and pine needles, will kill a longleaf pine. |
|
| We're planting many areas back to longleaf pine in order to restore the natural fire regime. |
|
| In Ocala National Forest, foresters and local volunteers replaced slash pine with stronger, more resilient longleaf pine. |
|
| Resident species that we expected to forage preferentially on either longleaf pines or hardwoods during the breeding season continued to do so during the winter. |
|
| Native longleaf, shortleaf, and loblolly pine provide most of the commercial timber in East Texas. |
|
| Coastal Plain longleaf pine forests are proximal to coastal storms, and thus have high probabilities of experiencing hurricanes, tornadoes, and other wind disturbances. |
|
| The open canopy consists of longleaf pine with occasional slash pine. |
|
| City officials plan to enhance the pine canopy by thinning out thickly planted forests to give older longleaf pines more room to spread their crowns. |
|
| The photograph of mixed-age Georgia longleaf with a wiregrass understory shimmers with light, its vertical lines penciling into a distant haze. |
|
| Burning at such frequent intervals kills longleaf pine seedlings. |
|
| Especially the majestic, soaring, massive-limbed longleaf pine that has recently become endangered. |
|
| For example, in the longleaf pine, the seedlings enter a grass stage, which may last as long as 15 years. |
|
| That's the case in the National Wildlife Refuge, where restoring the native longleaf pine and wiregrass community should provide a springboard for the unusual gopher tortoise. |
|
| The gopher tortoise is a large turtle that lives in deep burrows, often up to 25 feet in length, in upland habitats usually dominated by stands of longleaf pines. |
|
| From its subterranean source, the Wekiva meanders slow and clear past waving sawgrasses and under a moss-draped canopy of oak and laurel and longleaf pine. |
|
|
|
| Black jack and post oak frequently co-occur with longleaf pine in fire-prone savannas of the outer coastal plain of the southeastern United States. |
|
| With about 161,000 acres of mostly longleaf pine, Fort Bragg soon began partnering with local conservation groups to buy land along the edges of the post. |
|
| Ray builds the ecosystem up from the longleaf pine and examines the notable species diversity of these forests and their unique qualities as a habitat. |
|
| De Soto National Forest in southern Mississippi, USA is mostly managed for longleaf and slash pine. |
|
| Slash and longleaf pine, oak, sabal palm, and grass are typical of the flatwood lowland region, while organic soils support saw grass, cypress, sabal palm, myrtle, willow, elderberry, and gum. |
|
| Original features include longleaf pine floors, plaster walls and transoms over doors to help keep the rooms cool in the days before air-conditioning. |
|
| In the United States, rosin is obtained from the longleaf pine, P. palustris, and the loblolly pine, P. taeda, of the southern Atlantic and eastern Gulf states. |
|
| The more densely vegetated sandy loam site supported scattered longleaf yucca, Mormon tea, black grama, sand dropseed and blue grama. |
|
| In more elevated areas, fire is a natural process in the landscape, and has produced extensive areas of longleaf pine forest and wet savannas. |
|
| Stumps of old longleaf pines are often dug, split into small pieces and sold as kindling for fires. |
|
| The best timber was longleaf, and it grew in the piney woods. |
|
| The restoration is taking great pains to perform the work with historical accuracy, including through the use of original wood species such as longleaf pine and tulipwood. |
|
| Some experiments on very resinous longleaf pine specimens indicate an increase in strength, due to the resin which increases the strength when dry. |
