“…When controlling for tree size and age, loblolly pines were less likely to experience severe damage and mortality than longleaf pines following a severe ice storm (Bragg 2016). Compared to shortleaf pine, loblolly pine was twice as likely to be broken or damaged by ice in pure and mixed plantations (Boggess & McMillan 1954). Using several tree species impacted by Hurricane Michael, Rutledge et al (2021) found that species, size, soil type, and their interactions influenced wind firmness.…”

Reestablishing appropriate tree species is an important step in converting off‐site monocultures into woodlands. Species conversion is often necessary, as off‐site exotic species rarely function like woodland species. However, when off‐site tree species are native, and functionally redundant to woodland species, conversion may be unnecessary. To explore this possibility in the southeastern United States, we reviewed the literature on trait differences among the primary southern pines and qualitatively assessed the effect of their identity at the species and stand‐levels. In this region, woodland restoration focuses on removing loblolly (Pinus taeda) and slash pine (P. elliottii) to reestablish longleaf (P. palustris) or shortleaf pine (P. echinata). Our review found minimal variation among species in understory flammability, fire resistance at maturity, and Red‐cockaded Woodpecker (Leuconotopicus borealis) habitat at the stand‐level. Longleaf and shortleaf pine were generally more resistant to abiotic and pest disturbance at the tree‐level; however, stand‐level differences in wind, drought, and boring insect resistance among southern pines growing in open forests were considered minimal. Retaining loblolly and slash pine will improve stand‐level productivity in the short term, but creates regeneration problems due to low juvenile fire resistance and resilience. Ice resistance and long‐term carbon sequestration will also likely be reduced by retaining loblolly and slash pine. Collectively, these results suggest that southern pine species are generally interchangeable at the stand‐level in woodlands; although woodlands featuring loblolly and slash pine may be less stable in the face of disturbance than those dominated by shortleaf and longleaf pine.

“…The attainment of an understanding of the geochemistry of an element requires an interdisciplinary approach, chemistry, geology and biology being especially important. This is shown in a recent study of lead in the environment (Boggess and Wixson, 1977). Any consideration of an element in nature should be made against the broad background of what is known about the geochemistry of that element.…”

Various aspects of the geochemistry of lead are discussed in terms of the Values are given for concentrations of lead in rocks, soils, water, vegetation, Lead tends to be concentrated in surface soils, probably because of the insolubility of the common lead minerals and of the lead complexed with some forms of organic matter.The same properties also govern the general unavailability of lead to plants and the low concentrations of lead in natural waters.Lead in solution in waters and lakes also depends on reactions at the sediment-water interface and on the pH and oxidation-reduction potential.discussed. Pollution is seen as something imposed on a natural background;The mean content of lead in coal is about 10 ppm Pb, and most of this is retained with fly-ash after the combustion of pulverised coal.The sources of lead in the body are also the proper assessment of the effects of lead and other heavy metals depends on reliable geochemical data and on careful interpretation.

“…Compared to loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.), shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata Mill.) is more cold tolerant (Lawson 1990), ice tolerant (Boggess and McMillan 1954), fire tolerant (Stewart et al 2015), and presumably, drought tolerant (Zak 1961). Recent increases in hybridization between shortleaf pine and loblolly pine might lead to lower resilience of pine forests in the southeastern USA (Tauer et al 2012) where hybrids are displacing shortleaf pine.…”

Hybridization between shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata Mill.) and loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) has dramatically increased and may threaten the genetic integrity of shortleaf pine. Shortleaf pine is presumed to be more drought tolerant than loblolly pine, but the drought hardiness of the hybrid pine is not known. We determined biomass partitioning in response to water stress and measured whole-plant transpiration of shortleaf, loblolly, and hybrid pine seedlings. Water stress decreased total seedling biomass, increased biomass partitioning to foliage, and decreased biomass partitioning to coarse roots. Shortleaf pine seedlings partitioned more biomass to coarse roots than loblolly pine, and hybrid pine was intermediate between the parent species. We found no differences in the level of soil moisture at which seedlings of different species began to limit transpiration. Our results suggest that the transpiration response of shortleaf pine and hybrid pine is similar to that of loblolly pine when exposed to water stress. However, greater partitioning to coarse root may allow shortleaf and hybrid pines to better withstand drought due to greater potential belowground carbohydrate supply.
