Beskrivning
The longleaf pine ecosystem, once one of the most extensive in North America, has been reduced over the past few centuries to about 2.2% of its original size. Still, the range of the longleaf still extends from Florida and the Carolinas to Texas, and extensive conservation and restoration programs are underway. The pines are valued for their aesthetic appeal, and for the habitats they provide, as well as for the quality of their lumber. Longleaf pines are naturally resistant to fire and some insects, and support more than thirty threatened or endangered plant and animal species, including the red-cockaded woodpecker and the gopher tortoise. This book unites a wealth of current information on the ecology, silviculture and restoration of the longleaf pine ecosystem, and includes a discussion of the historical, social and political aspects of longleaf pine ecosystem management.

Aus den Rezensionen: "... Die von Pinus palustris beherrschte Waldflache ... gilt heute als eine Existenz bedrohte Baumart in Nordamerika. Das erklart das neu erwachte Interesse an dieser Art, der mit dem vorliegenden Werk eine umfassende Studie gewidmet ist. Sie umfasst vier Hauptabschnitte: Einfuhrung mit Geschichte und Gegenwart der Okosysteme, Okologie, Waldbau und Wiederherstellung von Pinus palustris gepragter Waldtypen. Das Werk kann als vorbildlich fur eine moderne forstliche Monographie gelten und wird daher sicherlich auch uber Nordamerika hinaus Interesse finden." (Ernst Rohrig, in: Forstarchiv, 2006, Vol. 77, Issue 6, S. 225)
