Developing Tools for Ecological Forestry and Carbon Management in Longleaf Pine
Abstract
Carbon density was measured in longleaf pine stands across the range to directly quantify ecosystem carbon pools and calibrate and validate longleaf pine carbon models. An even-aged longleaf pine model which enables simulation of scenarios for young planted stands being managed for transition toward uneven-aged structures with silvicultural tools such as thinning and prescribed fire was developed and linked to a modified single-tree-based longleaf pine model which enables simulation of older stands which are managed with silvicultural tools such as single tree or group selection harvests and prescribed fire.
