Forest stand dynamics of shortleaf pine in the Ozarks (2007)Larsen, D. R. (2007). Forest stand dynamics of shortleaf pine in the Ozarks. Shortleaf pine restoration and ecology in the Ozarks: proceedings of a symposium; 2006 November 7-9; Springfield, MO. Northern Research Station, General Technical Report NRS-P-15. Retrieved from http://www.forestry.ok.gov/Websites/forestry/images/Shortleaf_Pine_Restoration_and_Ecology_on_the_Ozarks.pdf#page=40 Much has been written on the management of shortleaf pine in the Ozarks (Brinkman et al. 1965, Brinkman 1967, Brinkman and Smith 1968, Seidel and Rogers 1965, Seidel and Rogers 1966). In large portions of the Ozarks, shortleaf pine does not grow in pure stands but rather in mixes with various oak species. These mixes present unique challenges in finding the set of conditions that allow both species to survive and flourish. The author will comment on ideas of how these systems research and current work being done to quantify these ideas
