| Site Name: | Mize |
| Description: | The Mize tract site is a regenerating clearcut slash pine plantation located in north-central Florida. Prior to the establishment of the current stand, the tract was dominated by a rotation-aged (25 years old) slash pine plantation managed for pulpwood production. All slash pines were harvested for stems only in 1998 and subsequently replanted at approximately 1800 trees/ha. Fertilization practices occurred in 2002, when the entire area was treated with 40 kgN/ha and 25 kgP/ha. The current even-aged overstory of the Mize tract remains solely composed of slash pines with assorted understory species native to the region. Three major natural disturbances occurred between 2000 and 2005. A severe ‘100- year drought’ began in 2000 and lasted until the summer of 2002. During the winter of 2000-2001, temperatures fell below 0.1 C 32 days, 16 more freeze days than the long-term average. Three tropical storms hit the Gainesville-area flux sites in August and September 2004. Heavy rain from these storms left the Mize tract inundated in September and October, and high winds impacted tree canopy leaf area. (Powell et al., 2008, Gholz and Clark 2002, Biological Template) |
