Single tree selection harvesting with longleaf pine underplanting and herbicide application
The objective of this study is to investigate how to accelerate the development of a multi-layered forest structure in a longleaf-slash pine flatwoods stand that is even-aged with little structural diversity (i.e., different sized trees). The stand overall is being managed to transition from an even- to uneven-aged forest as would be indicated by having a diversity of tree sizes.
This entry describes a single tree selection harvest, which involves cutting individual trees throughout the forest with little development of canopy gaps.

The primary objective of this study is to examine how the differing crown attributes produced by three clonal varieties and one family of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) affect forest growth, biomass distribution, and stand dynamics. Here we report the contrast for two Clones: A and B
A secondary objective is to examine how these crown attributes correspond to the thinning response of the different genotypes.

Compare how early treatments of prescribed fire and mowing in planted longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) plantations differently affect pine growth.
Provide landowners with a better understanding of how silvicultural actions affect longleaf pine establishment and growth.
