Slash pine is named after the "slashes" – swampy ground overgrown with trees and bushes – that constitute its habitat. Other common names include swamp pine, yellow slash pine, and southern Florida pine.[3] Historically, slash pine has been an important economic timber for naval stores, turpentine, and resin.[3] Slash pine has two different varieties: Pinus elliottii var. densa and Pinus elliottii var. elliottii. Range and habitatIt is found from southern South Carolina west to southeastern Louisiana, and south to the Florida Keys.[4] It natural habitat is sandy subtropical maritime forests and wet flatwoods.[5] Communities dominated by slash pine are termed "slash pine forests". These forests have been managed through controlled fires since the beginning of the twentieth century. DescriptionThis tree is fast-growing, but not very long-lived by pine standards (to 200 years). It reaches heights of {{convert|18|-|30|m|ft|abbr=on}} with a trunk diameter of {{convert|0.6|-|0.8|m|ft|abbr=on}}. The leaves are needle-like, very slender, in clusters of two or three, and are {{convert|18|-|24|cm|in|abbr=on}} long. The cones are glossy red-brown, {{convert|5|-|15|cm|in|abbr=on}} in length with a short ({{convert|2|-|3|mm|in|abbr=on|disp=or}}), thick prickle on each scale. It is known for its conical shape. It may be distinguished from the related loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) by the somewhat longer, glossier needles and larger red-brown cones, and from longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) by the shorter, more slender needles and smaller cones with less broad scales. TaxonomyThere are two described varieties of Pinus elliotii. However, recent genetic studies have indicated that the varieties may not be more closely related to each other than they are to other pines in the Southeast. If this is the case, then status as separate species would be warranted.[5] This treatment has not been widely adopted. The two commonly accepted varieties are the following:
Unlike the typical variety of slash pine, seedlings of P. elliottii var. densa pass through a "grass stage", in a manner similar to longleaf pine. Fire EcologyHistoryFire has long been an important element in South Eastern forests. Native Americans burned land in the South to improve grass growth for grazing and visibility for hunting.[8] When European settlers arrived in the New World, they brought new diseases that severely diminished the Native American populations. Over time, with the lack of consistent burning, much of the open land of the South converted back to forest land.[8] Logging began to increase in the South East which created some tension between the loggers and local farmers. The loggers wanted to continue to burn the forest but the local farmers were concerned about how burning would affect cattle grazing and turpentine production.[8] Fire maintenance has been a long been a controversial issue. In the 1940s the Smokey Bear campaign to prevent wildfires lead to a shift towards anti-burning practices. Consequently, many of these fire-dependent ecosystems suffered without regular fire cycles. Despite many reports from the U.S. Forest Service about the benefits fire has on forage production, pine regeneration, control of tree pathogens, and reducing risks of wildfires, controlled burning did not re-gain traction until the 1950s and 1960s. UsesWithout regular fire intervals in slash pine forests, the ecosystem can change over time. For example, in the northern range for slash pine, forests can convert to from mesic flatwoods[9] to denser mixed hardwood canopies with trees such as oaks, hickory, and southern magnolia.[10] In South Florida, the Pine Rocklands can convert to a Rockland Hammock dominated by woody shrubs and invasive plants. Invasive species are a major management issue in the South. Many pine trees and native plants are adapted to fire, meaning they require fire disturbance to open their pine cones, germinate seeds, and cue other metabolic processes. Fire can be a good management strategy for invasive species because many invasive plants are not adapted to fire. Therefore, fire can eliminate the parental plant or reduce seed viability. Controlled burning is also used to help reduce pathogen load in an ecosystem. For example, fire can eliminate pest populations or resting fungal spores that could infect new seedlings. Low intensity burns can also clear space in the understory and provide nutrient pulses[11] that benefit the understory vegetation. Fire is also used to prevent "fuel" buildup, the highly flammable plants such as grasses and scrub under the canopy which could burn easily in a wildfire. Most prescribed burn intervals are about every 2–5 years which allows the ecosystem to regenerate post-burn.[12] Much of the South Florida Pine Rockland ecosystem is highly fragmented and have not been burned because of the proximity to businesses and homes.[10] Risks such as smoke, air quality, and residual particulate matter in the environment pose safety issues for controlled burns near homes and businesses. Diseases and PestsFusiform RustStarting in the late 1950’s the emergence of Fusiform Rust on South Eastern pine trees including slash pine (Pinus elliottii), loblolly pine, (Pinus taeda), and longleaf pine, (Pinus palustris) lead to massive tree mortality within the pine industry.[13] This obligate parasitic pathogen is notorious for infecting young trees in newer planted areas within the first 1–5 years of growing. The pine industry was still rather new at the time of this initial outbreak, therefore, many newly planted forests had large-scale mortality because the trees were not yet old enough to be resilient to the disease or harvested.[13] Florida’s pine industry in particular was booming with an increase in plantation acreage from 291,000 acres in 1952 to upwards of 5.59 million acres in 1990. Because of the complicated lifecycle of Cronaritum quercuum f. sp. fusiforme, the fungal causal agent of Fusiform Rust, the management strategies of pruning diseased stems, reducing fertilization, and discarding infected seed were not sufficient enough to prevent million dollar annual loses.[13][14] Rust pathogens are difficult to manage because of their complicated reproductive life cycles. Cronaritum querecuum f. sp. fusiforme is heteroecious, requiring two different plant hosts for reproduction, and is macrocyclic, meaning it contains all five spore stages typical for rust infections: basidiospores, teliospores, urediniospores, aeciospores, and spermatia. Oak trees are the secondary host for this pathogen.[15] The primary inoculum on pine are basidiospores which infect the pine needles in spring between March and May.[16] The basidiospores germinate and grow into the stems of the tree where the fungus can overwinter for 4–6 months in the wood. In the fall, the spermatia forms and fertilizes the aceiospores in the following spring. The aceiospores are released from the pine and are the primary inoculum that infect the oak trees in the following growing season. Aceiospores grow through the oak leaves producing urediniospores on the underside of the oak leaves. These urediniospores can reproduce clonally, asexually, and can continue to infect oak plants as a secondary inoculum. Within two weeks of the primary urediniospore inoculation on the oak tree, teliospores are formed which germinate into basidiospores that infect the pine trees and complete the life rust cycle. Symptoms on the pine include gall formation, stem swelling, cankers, bushiness, and dieback.[14][16] The cankers in the stem allow secondary fungal infections or other pests to enter the trees easily.[16]Understanding the climate conditions that can lead to rust outbreaks is an important component for management strategies, but this was not well understood in the early decades of this epidemic.[13] More recent information has shown that certain weather patterns such as high humidity, wet pine needles, and temperatures around 15-29 °C for approximately 18 days can increase the spread of basiodiospores and therefore increase disease severity.[16] The secondary host, oak, is another economically and ecologically important tree in the south east. Therefore, eradication of the secondary host is not only not possible but also not effective because basidiospores can travel up to a half mile, easily infecting pine trees that are far away. Therefore, a combination of management strategies such as reducing fertilization treatments (which can benefit the pathogen), planting more rust-disease resistant trees in plantations[13] and reintroducing fire to reduce the oak trees within the forest may help to reduce disease incidences. Pitch CankerPitch canker, a monocyclic disease is caused by the fungus Fusarium circinatum (previously named Fusarium moniliforme var. subglutinans) [17][16] was first described in 1946 by Hepting and Roth. When it was first described there were low levels of disease until the 1970s when a massive epidemic of Pitch Canker caused mass tree mortality in Florida slash pine.[16] Some hypotheses suggests that the pathogen may have originated in Mexico and was then introduced in Florida and later transmitted to California on diseased seed. The pathogen has been reported in Mexico, however, high fungal diversity and low tree mortality from the disease suggests that this pathogen may have co-evolved in Mexico before being introduced to other parts of the world.[18] Many reports describe the pathogen as endemic to Florida,[19] likely because the disease was introduce a long time ago that the population has become more diverse.[20] By 1974, over half of the slash pine population in Florida was infected with Pitch Canker disease.[21] In areas where the pathogen is newly introduced, the fungal population is mostly clonal because there are fewer mating types within the population[20] and therefore sexual production may be lower.[18] Pitch Canker infects nearly all pine tree species including longleaf pine, short leaf pine, and eastern white pine. This disease continues to be a problem in nurseries and has been reported in other countries.[18] A major problem in Florida is that artificial replanting of pines may be contributing to high disease incidences.[17] The disease can be passed through seed and spores but requires open wounds to infect the tree from things like insect damage, mechanical damage, hail/weather damage.[20] The predominant symptoms include needle chlorosis and reddening shoots that can cause “flagging” that later die.[16][21][17][18] Cankers or lesions form on the trunks turning the bark yellow or dark brown and exudes resin. Stems may die and get crystalized in resin soaked lesions. Resin is generally produced in plants to protect against pathogens. Sometimes the tissue above the canker will die causing girdling of the stem.[17] The severity of the disease depends on weather related conditions and may require moisture and insect wounds or weather related wounds such as hail to infect the trees. Some insects such as bark beetles, spittle bugs, weevils,[19] pine tip moth, and needle midge may vector the disease into the tree.[3][16][21] Pitch Canker was used to inoculate Pinus elliottii var. densa trees to try to increase resin production for extraction but this approach was ineffective.[21] UsesThis tree is widely grown in tree plantations. It is also used in horticulture. See also
