Book Description
Excerpt from The Forests, Forest Lands, and Forest Products of Eastern North Carolina Indeed, nothing in the way of forest management could be more reckless and destructive than the treatment of our long-leaf pine forests during the past few decades. In the boxing for turpentine the trees have been cut so deeply and so extensively that both their vitality and strength have been greatly weakened, and the storms have prostrated many of the finest specimens. The lumberman and the storms have been followed by forest fires, which have com plated the destruction, already begun in so systematic a manner, of large areas. Started at times by thoughtless hunters at night, by sparks from an engine, by careless squatters or tenants, or even at times by land owners; in the hope of improving the grazing capacity of their lands during the following season, these forest fires sweep irresisti bly across miles Of territory, destroying not only the mature for est trees, but also the young growth; and thus destroy the forest of the future as well as of the present. And the few young pines which may have escaped destruction in this way soon follow the fate of the others by being destroyed by hogs. Many of these long leaf pine lands which lie in the sand hill regions of Eastern North Carolina have had their forest removed so completely that they have become waste lands, covered by a thin growth of nearly worth less scrubby oak. The total area of these waste lands is now nearly half a million acres, and is steadily increasing. This Report endeavors to show that while much of these Waste lands are worth less for other purposes, they can be reset with long-leaf pine forests if they can only be protected against forest fires and stock. And it is gratifying to find among the lumbermen themselves a growing realization of the fact that it is to their interest and to the interest of the public at large that this destructive policy give place to a more intelligent plan which, while it does not Seriously curtail the utilization of the existing forests, it looks to their protection and perpetuity.

Book Description
"Southern forests provide innumerable benefits. Forest scientists, managers, owners, and users have in common the desire to improve the condition of these forests and the ecosystems they support. A first step is to understand the contributions science has made and continues to make to the care and management of forests. This book represents a celebration of past accomplishments, summarizes the current state of knowledge, and creates a vision for the future of southern forestry research and management. Chapters are organized into seven sections: "Looking Back," "Productivity," "Forest Health," "Water and Soils," "Socioeconomic," "Biodiversity," and "Climate Change." Each section is preceded by a brief introductory chapter. Authors were encouraged to focus on the most important aspects of their topics; citations are included to guide readers to further information."
