Impacts of pine species, stump removal, cultivation, and fertilization on soil properties half a century after planting

Abstract: To better understand the long-term effects of species selection and forest management practices on soil quality and soil C retention, we analyzed soil samples from an experimental planting of loblolly (Pinus taeda L.), longleaf (Pinus palustris Mill.), and slash (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) pines under different management intensities in Mississippi. The treatments included stump removal and cultivation (CULT), a one-time application of fertilizer combined with stump removal and cultivation (CULT+F), and a contro… Show more

“…Markewitz et al (2002) reported no difference in soil C content on sandy soils up to 14 years after afforestation with longleaf pine on marginal agricultural lands on a 2-to 3-year fire interval, and on average, soil C to a 50 cm depth was 23 Mg C·ha −1 in plantations versus 42 Mg C·ha −1 in natural longleaf pine stands that were never tilled. Butnor et al (2012b) reported 60 Mg C·ha −1 soil C (down to 30 cm) for coarse loamy soils in 50-year-old longleaf pine stands in Mississippi planted after clear-cutting a mature longleaf pine stand and Table 5. Forest carbon stocks (Mg C·ha −1 ) in longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) stands stands ranging in age from 5 to 87 years.…”

“…Thus, soil C in the present study (32-98 Mg C/ha) was lower than values reported for highly productive sites. However, soil C was in the range reported for pine plantations on eroded soils where marginal farmland was converted to pine plantations (Garten 2002, Markewitz et al 2002, Sartori et al 2007, Butnor et al 2012b. While prescribed burning periodically reduces the forest floor and C in surface soils, it has little effect on mineral soil C (Binkley et al 1992, Lavoie et al 2010.…”

“…and Pinus elliotti Engelm. were lower in soil C and N compared with a similar harvested but nonstumped treatment (Butnor et al 2012). On a pine (Pinus contorta) stumping and raking trial, the main treatment effects on the coarse-textured soil were observed within the measured soil chemical properties, not in the soil physical properties, and were gone after 10 years, which led Hope (2007) to conclude that the treatments did not adversely affect soil bulk density or pine growth.…”
