Abstract:

The abundance of Longleaf Pine trees in North Carolina offered a much-needed resource in the colonies where a flow of goods depended on shipping. Tar, pitch, and turpentine were also essential exports. By 1840, North Carolina produced almost ninety-six percent of all naval stores in the country.

Lee, David S.

Abstract:

Lee describes his attempt to create a small but virtually self-sustaining stand of longleaf pine that will support many species of longleaf dependent birds and terrestrial animals. The longleaf restoration is part of a larger effort to restore a 130-acre tract of land that Lee and his wife own in Bladen County to make it more favorable to native wildlife.

Abstract:

Ecological research aimed at determining optimal conditions for longleaf pine regeneration has become increasingly important in restoration efforts. A study in the Croatan National Forest, North Carolina suggested that increased litter accumulation near trees can adversely affect seedling survival by increasing fire intensity.

Williams, Lynn Pearsall

Abstract:

The longleaf pine, the official state tree, has endured much in history. The naval stores industry in the 1800s reduced its numbers, and 20th-century fire control has allowed other trees to crowd it out. Now special preserves are helping it to recover.
