To determine the distribution of lignin from bromine analysis, it is essential to know the reactivity of bromine toward lignin in different morphological regions. For black spruce (Picea mariana), Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), the lignin in the secondary wall of tracheids is 1.7...

The red-cockaded woodpecker also has a requirement for old-growth forest, in this case certain types of pine forest (especially loblolly pine, Pinus taeda) in the southeastern United States, in which this bird excavates nesting cavities in large, living trees that have fungal heart rot. The red-cockaded woodpecker breeds in small...

Hardwoods have been preferred for intensive plantation management because of their sprouting capability and the fast growth of these sprouts for the first 10-20 years, as compared to conifers.There are exceptions, however, where conifers may be more desirable. Williford et al. (2Q) reported loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) to be superior in biomass production on many sites in the south. Studies by the U.S. Forest Service at Rhinelander, Wisconsin, indicate conifers may have advantages under certain site conditions ( ). For example, jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) is well adapted to the North, has few serious insect and disease problems, and is less demanding of nutrients and moisture than many hardwoods. 

A method for the gel permeation chromatographic analysis of the molecular weight distribution of wood pulp holocellulose as the carbanilate derivative has been applied to red maple Acer rubrum) and loblolly pine Pinus taeda). Either the chlorine-ethanolamine or acid-chlorite method could be used to prepare the holocellulose and the derivative was obtained by heating at 80 with phenylisocyanate in pyridine. Higher temperatures caused depolymerization.

Dried thermomechanical pulp (TMP) (mature loblolly pine, Pinus taeda) was obtained from the U.S. Department of Agriculture at Pineville, Mississippi. Steam pressures used during the TMP process were 4, 8, and 12 bar. Spruce (Picea glauca) chips were refined at 103 kPa, followed by atmospheric refining to 600 mL Canadian standard fi eeness (CSF). Spruce pulps were further refined to 70 mL CSF after enzyme treatments using a PFI mill to reduce the freeness.

Aggregation of the southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis. .. on loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) under beetle attack was not disrupted by aerial application of frontalure, which is a mixture of the attractant pheromone frontalin (195) and the host terpene a-pinene (230). Instead, aerial saturation with the pheromone in a heavily beetle-infested pine forest resulted in a rapid increase in the aggregation of beetles on pine trees undergoing attack (549). In this experiment, a ten hectare section of pine forest including 1.6 hectares of a D. frontalis infestation was treated twice by aircraft with rice seed soaked with frontalure. This formulation released virtually all of the frontalure within 24 hr (45 g/ hectare for the first application and 450 g/hectare for the second).
