Vegetative Response to Weed Control in Forest Restoration

Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) stands once occupied an estimated 24 million ha in the southeastern USA (Stout & Marion, 1993). Fire suppression, timber harvest, and land conversion reduced its extent to around one million ha (Outcalt & Sheffield, 1996). In recent times, widespread interest in restoring longleaf pine ecosystems or planting the species for timber production has motivated private landowners, industrial forest owners, and public agencies to establish more longleaf pine forest. Over 33 million longleaf pine seedlings were produced for the 2005-2006 planting season in the southeastern United States (McNabb & Enebak, 2008), and 54 million produced in 2008-2009 (Pohl & Kelly, 2011).
