Abstract

Slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) is one of the hard yellow pines indigenous to the southeastern United States (Lohrey and Kossuth 1990). It is one of the two southern pines used for naval stores, and is one of the most frequently planted timber species in North America (Lohrey and Kossuth 1990). It is favoured by many forest managers because of its fast growth and excellent utility for pulp, lumber, and poles (Sheffield et al. 1983). It has the smallest native range of the four southern pines and grows naturally from South Carolina south to central Florida and west to Louisiana. It has been established by planting as far north as Tennessee and as far west as eastern Texas, where it now seeds naturally (Lohrey and Kossuth 1990). In the three decades prior to 1980, the P. elliottii ecosystem increased by 22% and peaked in the late 1970s and early 1980s (Sheffield et al. 1983). Today, the rate of planting outside the natural range has slowed compared to the 1950 to 1970 period.
