This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study wasconducted in a 14-year-old midrotation loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantation to assess the effects of fertilizationand vegetation control (a) on soil net nitrogen mineralization, (b) litterdecomposition and (c) foliar nutrient concentrations and use, and vegetationgrowth. Fertilization (none, 224 kg haP) and vegetation control (none, complete) treatments were applied in a 2x2factorial design in March 1998. Soil net nitrogen mineralization was assessedby monthly field and laboratory incubations, litter decomposition and nutrient(N, P K, Ca, Mg, S, Mn, Zn, B, Cu) release dynamics were determined by thelitterbag method, foliar nutrient use of pines and hardwoods was estimated fromlitterfall and foliar nutrient concentrations, and growth was determined basedon annual measurements of diameter and height. Field net N mineralization rateswere 19, 18, 31, and 78 kg ha for control (C, notreatment), fertilization (F), vegetation control (VC), and vegetation controlplus fertilization (VC+F) treatments, respectively. Relative treatments responseswere similar in the laboratory incubations. Litter mass loss duringdecomposition was reduced by 9% after 32 months by vegetation control, andfertilization had no effect. The mobility of the nutrients was as follows: Cud"d"

This book was released on 2009 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Evidence is mixed on how well longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) responds to increased soil nitrogen via fertilization. We examined growth and physiological responses of volunteer longleaf pine trees within an intensive loblolly pine (P. taeda L.) fertilization experiment. Fertilizer was applied annually following thinning at age 8 years (late 1992) at rates tailored to maintain a high needle nitrogen concentration. We measured the annual growth of 20 volunteer longleaf pine trees per treatment. We took bimonthly gas exchange measures on 12 longleaf pine trees per treatment from June 1999 through June 2000, after which we estimated carbon isotope discrimination and foliar nitrogen concentration on foliage. The impact of fertilization in both growth and gas exchange was dependent on competition for light with neighboring loblolly pine trees. When fertilized longleaf pine trees were separated into categories with respect to being dominant or suppressed (relative to the loblolly pine trees) dominant-fertilized trees had the lowest carbon isotope discrimination, increased photosynthesis, and decreased stomatal conductance, indicating greater water use efficiency in these trees. Compared to loblolly pine, longleaf pine growth is restricted less by poor soil nutrition. However, early rotation longleaf pine appears to have the potential to increase growth rate via fertilization to almost the same extent as loblolly pine.S3.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We studied the effects of annual fertilization (F) and eliminating inter-specific competition via herbicides (H) on loblolly pine productivity and growth allocation. Both treatments increased above ground growth, alone and in combination, relative to the control treatment. The primary effect seems to have been the result of a reallocation of growth above ground from roots, due especially to a reduction in fine root production. Fertilization with nitrogen had the greatest single effect, and the stands we studied are continuing to respond to annual fertilization, largely through the positive effect nitrogen is having on leaf area (and hence photosynthetic area) and canopy nitrogen (which is directly related to ability of the canopy to fix carbon). Herbicide, alone or with fertilizer, caused the greatest reduction in fine root mass and production, but the above ground effects were relatively short-lived. In the combined treatment, trees benefited from the significant reduction in roots associated with herbicide and the enhanced canopy development associated with fertilization. We have used the results of our field research to both construct a new process-based model of forest growth, and to parameterize an existing model for use in our ecosystems. The results of our field experiments and modeling efforts are helping forest managers to better understand the effects of forest management practices on forest growth, and ultimately will help improve the efficacy of such practices.
