“…The mean and top height of P. caribaea were less than those observed in other studies (Bhodthipuks 1979; Calvo‐Alvarado et al. 2007; Liegel 1991; Wang et al. 1999), including reports from other Nigerian localities (Adegbehin and Onyibe 2001; Adegbehin et al.…”

“…1988; Kadeba 1991). In P. caribaea , the native range conditions of this species show annual rainfall of 1,500–3,900 mm (Liegel 1991). The annual rainfall measured in the present study was approximately 1,200 mm, less that that of the natural habitat of P. caribaea .…”

“…Platteborze and Sen (1972) reported that P. caribaea growth in Malaysia was correlated with available P. Srivastava and Zainorin (1979) reported that P was the most important nutrient for increased height in P. caribaea seedlings. Liegel (1991) found that P levels in shallow and stony limestone localities limited P. caribaea growth in Jamaica. The results of these studies were congruent with the results of the present study.…”

“…In terms of the influence of the soil volumetric water content on P. caribaea growth, Liegel (1991) reported that soil conditions resulting in poor growth for P. caribaea included excessively dry conditions during the long dry season or an increase in water beyond optimal conditions during the rainy season in Venezuela. Drainage is impeded above a soil depth of 40 cm when soils become oversaturated (Liegel 1991). In the present study, no sites were observed where drainage was impeded above a soil depth of 40 cm.…”

The present study described the relationship between growth and soil physico‐chemical properties in Eucalyptus camaldulensis (Myrtaceae) and Pinus caribaea (Pinaceae), two important species in Nigerian forest recovery programs. The study sites were located in a 17‐year‐old plantation in a Northern Nigeria forest reserve. The soils at the study sites were nutrient poor compared with other plantations. Growth of E. camaldulensis was positively correlated with exchangeable K content in soils 0–20 cm deep, and negatively correlated with total N and exchangeable Na in soils 20–150 cm deep. Growth of P. caribaea was positively correlated with available P in soils 0–20 cm deep, and volumetric water content in soils 20–150 cm deep. Soils in the top layers were very hard and plinthite layers were well developed at shallow soil depths at most sites. E. camaldulensis exhibited a comparatively high survival rate, and its growth was comparable to that in other plantations. However, the survival rates of P. caribaea were low and its growth was lower than that in other plantations. The survival rate of E. camaldulensis was lower at sites where plinthite layers were found within 50.8 cm of the surface. These results indicated that E. camaldulensis is suitable for afforestation in Northern Nigeria. However, it is not recommended for sites where the plinthite layer occurs at shallow soil depths.

“…According to Liegel (1991) natural stands of Pinus caribaea are found in climates with well defined dry seasons and annual precipitation that ranges between 1500 to 3500 mm. In addition, Liegel (1991) reported that growth and survival of this species is adversely affected by poorly drained soils. As observed in Table 1, the experimental block in Ecoregion 4 is on an alluvial soil with a perudic climatic regime with no dry season.…”

We studied avian resource use in a native West Indian pine (Pinus occidentalis) forest in the Cordillera Central of the Dominican Republic during the nonbreeding season. The forest is characterized by a fairly open pine canopy and a dense mixed‐broadleaf and pine understory. We used a principal components analysis of 23 foraging characters for 23 bird species, including foraging height, the proportional use of 5 different foraging methods, 3 horizontal positions and foliage densities, and 11 foraging substrates. Five principal components accounted for 74 percent of the total variance of the assemblage variables and resulted in the delineation of at least 5 foraging guilds. 78 percent of bird species had mean foraging heights of 5.0–10.0 m, corresponding to the region of overlap of pine and broadleaf vegetation. As a result, the diversity of foraging substrates and maneuvers used by birds, rather than foraging height, appears to be the primary means by which birds that exploit this habitat separate ecologically. Migrant wood warblers (Parulinae) are probably able to integrate into the community because of little diet overlap between residents and migrants, and the fairly specialized nature of their largely insectivorous foraging habits. Avian foraging in this habitat may reflect the effects of frequent disturbance such as hurricanes.
