SRS-4158 – Restoring
and Managing Longleaf Pine Ecosystems
What we do This unit is
dedicated to (1)
providing fundamental physiological
knowledge needed to understand the processes that affect longleaf pine
seedling
production, establishment, and growth and development; (2) providing
ecological
information about population and community processes that affect
restoration of
longleaf pine woodlands and at risk native plant species; and (3)
providing
practices, strategies, and models that quantify and predict the
influence of
management on maintaining and restoring longleaf pine ecosystems. Its scientists work with partners and
cooperators to provide knowledge and technologies needed to
successfully
restore and manage these ecosystems as they are increasingly affected
by a
variety of human and natural influences in times of environmental
stress and cultural
and climatic change.
