Occurrence of little leaf disease of pine and its effects on forestry in Alabama (1947)Boggess, W. R., & Newman, R. (1947).

Pine has long been the major source of lumber in this section. The principal objective of forest management is to maintain these pine forests in a high rate of production. Maintaining pine is not a simple problem. Nature tends to replace pine with hardwoods in the course of time. Pine management is further complicated by the little leaf disease, which threatens to destroy an important part of the pine stand. In parts of the State, as much as 30 per cent of the pine volume is affected by the disease. Yet some foresters have been slow in recognizing the importance of the little leaf disease. It is important, therefore, to see if the present methods of forest management are the best to use in pine stands where the little leaf disease is present
