Report upon the forestry investigations of the of agriculture1877-1898 . iorof Georgia to northeastern Texas, where the most favorable conditions in regard to atmosphericprecipitation prevail. The tree seems to avoid the humid air of the coast along the Gulf, as wellas along the seashore of the Southern Atlantic States, nor does it ascend the mountains in theseStates above an altitude of 2,500 feet. Relation to light and associated species.—The shortleaf pine, like most pines, is a light-needingspecies, being, however, less sensitive to a deficiency in this direction than the longieaf and Cubanpines, which latter succumb in competition with the shortleaf pine. Originally the shortleaf pineis found more or less associated with various oaks (Spanish oak, blackjack, scarlet oak, post oak,and black oak), the mockernut and the pignut hickory, and more rarely with the chestnut, themountain oak, and the scrub pine. All of these species prefer the warm, lighter soils of theuplands. These companions of the shortleaf pine are joined in the lower Southern States by.
