Carry-Over of Loblolly Pine Seeds on Cutover Forest Sites

The role of carry-over seed in the natural regeneration of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) was investigated in central Louisiana. Three lots of loblolly pine seeds were sown on two forest sites (dry and moist) and at two seasons (fall and spring). Observations indicated that all viable seeds germinated by April. No viable ungerminated seeds were found to remain on the forest floor after the first growing season. These data suggest that no significant amounts of loblolly pine regeneration occurs from seeds carried over to the following year. Tree Planters' Notes 42(4):17-18; 1991.
