CST007170 Pinus elliottii Forest Plantation
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Slash Pine Forest Plantation
Colloquial Name: Slash Pine Plantation
Hierarchy Level: Cultural Subtype
Type Concept: This association includes planted stands (plantations) of Pinus elliottii var. elliottii (typically monospecific), within and outside of its natural range. These are cultivated forests and are not considered natural or semi-natural vegetation. They are maintained as plantations for the harvest of forest products (lumber, pulpwood). Stands are primarily in uplands, but occasional stands in wetland environments are included here as well. This concept is also supposed to include the rare case of "exotic" stands resulting from natural regeneration out of the natural range of Pinus elliottii var. elliottii, although these are probably better accommodated as examples of ~Pinus elliottii - (Pinus palustris) Forest Plantation (CST007171)$$.

They are maintained as plantations for the harvest of forest products (lumber, pulpwood). Slash pine has been introduced into North Carolina and eastern Texas, and now reproduces naturally in these locations.
