Field-based Studies

The portfolio of field-based studies installed by the PMRC is quite varied and extensive throughout the operating region of the Cooperative. Studies cover the geographic area comprised of the Atlantic Coast Flatwoods and Coastal Plain, Piedmont, South Atlantic Gulf Slope and West Gulf of the Carolinas, Georgia, Northern Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and East Texas. All studies are designed to be analyzed on a region-wide basis to maximize the information available for use with the developed management tools. Several studies have been retired or passed on to other research interests while new studies are being designed to address questions important for future management options such as carbon sequestration and clonal planting management.
