Creating and maintaining resiliency in mature longleaf pine woodlands can be challenging, especially when treatments require a cost investment. We present a new approach for promoting resiliency in uneven-aged stands that involves thinning dense patches of small-sized trees. This can be done while conducting selection cutting or climate adaptation approaches.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participants will be able to communicate methods for creating and maintaining resiliency in mature longleaf pine woodlands.
Upon completion, participants will be able to describe the prescription that was applied to dense patches of sapling-sized trees within mature, uneven-aged stands.
Upon completion, participants will be able to describe multiple silvicultural systems used to maintain uneven-aged conditions in stands dominated by longleaf pine.
