Sinopsis

Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, Vol. 8: A Periodical Devoted to the Technique of Forest Fire Control; January, 1947

Paralleling the coast from North Carolina to Texas is an area of approximately square miles, or acres, grading from flat coastal plain to rolling uplands. The greater part of this area is forest land, about acres in the longleaf - slash pine type, and most of the remainder a mixture of shortleaf-loblolly pine and hard woods.

Following the cutting of the heavy original timber stands, the shortleaf, loblolly, and slash pines tended to prolific reproduction. Limited by the frequency of wild fires. The longleaf pine, which has infrequent seed years, came back in fair but understocked stands where team logging left small or defective but seed producing trees. Where clear-cutting and railroad skidders, tearing down all but an occasional sapling, were used and followed by intense logging debris fires, there are today large areas with only scattered clumps of reproduction.
