Abstract

Ecologicall y the forests of pure or nearly pure southern pine that r ange so extensively along the central and southern Atlantic coastal r egion are sub-climax types . Thus the natural tendency is for our pine fo r ests to be r eplaced eventually by the climax hardwood species : maple, beech, oaks , and hickories .
