CST007169 Pinus echinata Forest Plantation
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Shortleaf Pine Forest Plantation
Colloquial Name: Shortleaf Pine Plantation
Hierarchy Level: Cultural Subtype
Type Concept: This association includes young, monospecific, dense stands of Pinus echinata across a variety of managed site conditions. The majority of stands accommodated in this association were artificially established through mechanical planting, although they may be established through other means such as seed-tree cuts. In most cases these stands support almost no other tree species, and typically very little understory. These are cultivated forests and are not considered natural or near-natural vegetation. If these areas exist on private lands, they are often maintained for the harvest of forest products and rarely exceeds 20-40 years of age.
Diagnostic Characteristics: No Data Available
Rationale for Nominal Species or Physiognomic Features: No Data Available
Classification Comments: During the year 2000, a vast majority of stands in the Daniel Boone National Forest (Kentucky) suffered from damage by the southern pine beetle (Dendroctonus frontalis). They will apparently be replanted.
