New Research From the Jones Center at Ichauway
Adaptive Silviculture for Climate Change in Longleaf Pine Ecosystems
In early 2026, Puhlick et al. published research from the Jones Center at Ichauway ASCC site in the Journal of Forestry. This manuscript covers initial treatment outcomes since site implementation, and evaluates the relative success of adaptation approaches in terms of meeting desired future conditions, ecosystem services, and more. The paper also covers implications for managers considering climate adaptation in these longleaf pine ecosystems, providing useful insights for those considering tradeoffs and feasibility, and some recommendations for managing for future resilience.
