Abstract: The standing crop, speciess composition, and productivity of understory plants influence a wide array of pine forest ecosystem characteristics important to multiresource management. Historically pine understory has been examined primarily as a source of forage for livestock and as a source of composition which can retard regeneration of pine trees. Emphasis on management of pine forests for multiresource benefits has lead to increasing focus on the importance of understory characteristics in influencing esthetics, erosion and water quality, and wildlife habitat.
