Abstract Ocala (Pinus clausa var. clausa Ward), Choctawhatchee (P. clausa var. immuginata Ward), and Withlacoochee sand pines were established in 1970 at seven sites from Walton Country in northwest Florida to Volusia County in east-central Florida. After five years, the Choctawhatchee source had uniformly good survival but the lowest height. The Withlacoochee source was characterized by good height and intermediate survival. Ocala sand pine had the poorest survival and the greatest height. The Choctawhatchee source seems most suited for large scale reforestation, while the Withlacoochee source has potential for more widespread use than it is currently receiving.

Abstract Choctawhatchee sand pine (Pinus clausa var. immuginata D.B. Ward), Ocala sand pine (P. clausa var. clausa D.B. Ward), slash pine (P. elliottii Engelm.), loblolly pine (P. taeda L.), and longleaf pine (P. palustris Mill.) were grown on sandhills in Georgia and South Carolina. Choctawhatcheesand pine grew fastest and yielded the most volume after 28 yr. Productivity equaled that of plantations in northwest Florida, averaging more than 100ft³/ac/yr. To maximize yields for pulpwood rotations of 25 to 35 yr, managers should plant these sites to Choctawhatchee sand pine. Longleafpine, however, has been growing as fast as Choctawhatchee sand pine since age 15 yr. Therefore, especially for longer rotations, it would be an acceptable alternative species. South. J. Appl.

Abstract Sand pine seedlings were planted on sites prepared by double chopping and on unprepared sites in scrub oak stands in the northwest Florida sandhills. Although survival was lower on unprepared areas, plantations of both Ocala (Pinus clausa var. clausa Ward) and Choctawhatchee sand pine (P. clausa var. immuginata Ward) still had acceptable stocking on unprepared sites at age 10. Thus, both varieties can be successfully established by underplanting among scrub hardwoods. Chopping, however, increased height, diameter, and volume growth. Total stem volume per acre was three to four times greater on chopped sites, and this difference continues to increase. Therefore, chopping prior to planting sand pine on these areas should be economically advantageous.

Abstract Thirty-eight species of pines, 4 other conifers, and 5 hardwoods have been included in trial plantings established on sandhill land in northwest Florida during the past 50 years. Of these, only longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) and Choctawhatchee sand pine (Pinus clausa var. immuginata Ward) can be recommended for sandhill reforestation without reservation. Choctawhatchee sand pine will produce twice the volume of wood in 25 years, as will longleaf pine when growing on a Florida sandhill site of similar quality and in stands of comparable density. A third option is to retain the land in scrub oaks and wiregrass.

To develop a process for predicting the likelihood of Salmonella contamination on beef carcasses, we evaluated the influence of several possible causative factors (i.e., year, abattoir, day of week, month, and intervention system components) on the risk of Salmonella and indicator organism contamination. Hide and carcass sponge samples were collected in 2005 to 2006 in six steps at three abattoirs in the East (A), Midwest (B), and Southwest (C) United States. Each abattoir used the same intervention system. Samples were analyzed for aerobic plate counts (APCs; n = 18,990) and Enterobacteriaceae counts (EBCs; n = 18,989) and the presence or absence of Salmonella (n = 5,355). Our results demonstrated that many factors play a significant role in the level of microbial contamination of beef carcasses. Overall, Salmonella prevalence and EBC levels were significantly higher in 2006 than in 2005. APCs and EBCs were highest in abattoirs A (3.57 log CFU/100 cm2) and B (1.31 log CFU/100 cm2). The odds of detecting a positive Salmonella isolate were greatest in abattoir C and lowest in abattoir A. Across the three abattoirs, the overall intervention process effectively reduced microbiological contamination. Salmonella prevalence fell from 45% (preevisceration) to 0.47% (postchilled–lactic acid), and there were APC and EBC reductions of 5.43 and 5.28 log CFU/100 cm2, respectively, from hide-on to postchilled–lactic acid samples. At each abattoir, composites of three individual EBC-negative carcass samples yielded Salmonella-negative results 97 to 99% of the time. These results suggest the possibility of using indicator test results to accurately predict the absence of Salmonella in a beef carcass sample.
