Secrets of the Longleaf Pine
SECRETS OF THE LONGLEAF PINE explores the forgotten Longleaf Pine forest that historically blanketed the coastal plain of the southeastern United States. Once comprising 90 million sprawling acres, the over-exploited forest declined to just a fraction of that size by the 20th century. Only a tiny percentage of precious old growth remains, but these remarkable patches display more biodiversity than any other ecosystem in the northern hemisphere. The hour-long film takes viewers on an unprecedented journey through the forest to examine some of the unique plants and animals that can only be found here, and profiles the conservation efforts that are helping to restore the incredible biologically diverse ecosystem.
Reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea)
Reed canary grass is an aggressive, cool-season perennial grass that invades and dominates a variety of wetland types including marshes, wet prairies, sedge meadows, fens, stream banks, and seasonally wet areas. This species can also grow in disturbed areas and spoil piles. Roots spread extensively by creeping rhizomes and runners. Reed canary grass is difficult to eradicate and is one of the first wetland plants to emerge in the spring, enabling it to shade out native species that emerge later in the growing season.
Common reed (Phragmites australis)
Common reed, or Phragmites, is a tall, perennial grass that can grow to over 15 feet in height. Phragmites forms dense stands which include both live stems and standing dead stems from previous year’s growth. Phragmites forms a dense network of roots and rhizomes which can go down several feet in depth. This pervasive species quickly invades sites taking over wetland communities and alters hydrology and habitat by blocking light to native plants and occupies the belowground growing space.
Priority Southeast U.S. Counties for Prescribed Burning Emphasis
This project was funded by NRCS and completed by NCSU in partnership with the Longleaf Alliance and Longleaf Implementation Teams (LIT) under America's Longleaf Restoration Initiative (ALRI). A set of counties within each of the 9 southern states in the longleaf pine range were identified by LIT staff as priority areas for implementation of prescribed burning efforts including executing on-the-ground burns, burn training workshops, establishment of Prescribed Burn Associations, and other activities where focused efforts can advance habitat management goals, improve forest health and mitigate wildfire risk.
