Monoterpene composition of cortical tissue was analyzed in slash pine (Pinuselliottii Engelm. var. elliottii) and loblolly pine (Pinustaeda L.) clones with known breeding values for fusiform rust resistance. Trees having a relatively high content of β-phellandrene tend to be more resistant than trees with a low β-phellandrene content. Such results confirm previous data and suggest the utilization of β-phellandrene content as an aid in selecting relatively rust resistant slash and loblolly pines.

Bark beetle caused mortality continues to play a critical role in determining the composition and structure of forests in North America, and revegetation dynamics following these disturbances are poorly understood. We assessed forest composition following southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann, mortality and associated cut and leave suppression, and compared them with undisturbed loblolly pine, Pinus taeda L., stands in Texas. Abundant hardwood regeneration dominated the understory, with little loblolly pine regeneration following either mortality event. Disturbances eliminated loblolly pine dominance in these even-aged stands, thus stratifying forest structure and apparently increasing stem density (stems·ha–1), richness (species·ha–1), and diversity (ha) in the lower strata. Aspect and elevation, presumably through influences on site moisture, were the primary gradients associated with vegetation variation in the canonical correspondence analyses for new regeneration. Mortality from Dendroctonus and cut and leave practices shifted loblolly pine communities to mixed upland hardwoods in model predictions generated by the southern variant of the Forest Vegetation Simulator. In addition to being an effective bark beetle control, cut and leave suppression did not alter predicted forest composition 50 years hence when compared with unsuppressed bark beetle-caused mortality. Because of the predicted shift to hardwood domination and a low pine basal area, it is expected that mortality from D. frontalis and cut and leave will substantially reduce future hazards from D. frontalis outbreaks.

Xylem resin flow in a lightning-struck loblolly pine was too low to be measured for the first few days after the strike, but flow was restored after 3 weeks. The content of α-pinene, camphene and myrcene in the oleoresin increased 3 weeks after the strike while the level of β-pinene showed a dramatic decline. Limonene and β-phellandrene also decreased, but not as dramatically as the decline in β-pinene. The implications of these changes to known bark beetle attack behavior are discussed.

AbstractThe southeastern United States contains extensive loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations at risk from bark beetle damage that can change ecosystem biogeochemical cycling. Functional changes in tree physiology have the potential to occur before visual evidence of mortality making them difficult to incorporate into ecosystem models. Therefore, we girdled loblolly pines to simulate bark beetle damage and measured physiological processes including sapflow rates, photosynthesis, litterfall, and needle nitrogen concentrations to determine the physiological changes occurring in trees undergoing mortality. We found that the girdling treatment took 5 months to significantly reduce sapflow rates but visual crown mortality occurred more than one year after girdling. Girdled pines had approximately 2.5 times lower water use than control pines and exhibited greater susceptibility to atmospheric water stress. Girdled and control pines had similar needle nitrogen concentrations and photosynthetic rates measured during the mortality year. However, more litterfall with higher nitrogen concentrations occurred in the mortality year than in the previous year, resulting in redistribution of carbon and nitrogen in the ecosystem. Overall, these data allow for better quantification of the effects of background disturbance levels and individual tree mortality on water, carbon, and nitrogen cycling within a loblolly pine ecosystem.
