  Pine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pines are mostly monoecious, having the male and female cones on the same tree, though a few species are sub-dioecious with individuals predominantly, but not wholly, single-sex.
Pines are commercially among the most important of species used for timber in temperate and tropical regions of the world.
Pine plantations can be at risk of fire damage because pine resin is flammable to the point of a tree being explosive under some conditions.

Coastal Plain forests in the South are predominantly pine in the uplands and hardwoods in the floodplains of major and minor rivers.
Longleaf pine ecosystems persist and maintain their diversity because of constant disturbance (Christensen 1993, Landers and Wade 1994, Landers and others 1995, Wells and Shunk 1931), and recurrent fire is crucial to perpetuation of these ecosystems (Andrews 1917).
Pond pine has the ability to resprout from its base as well as along its stem and branches (Wenger 1958); thus, its aboveground stem survives higher intensity fires than stems of other pine species.

 History of Southern Pine Ecosystems   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Roughly one quarter of the longleaf communities also supported other pines such as loblolly, shortleaf, slash, and pond pine in various proportions depending on soil conditions, especially in transitional zones between the coastal plains and other physiographic regions.
Shortleaf pine was prevalent outside the range of longleaf, especially on dry slopes and ridges in the Interior Highlands and Oklahoma, and has declined considerably.
Original pine forests were old, open, contained a two-layered structure of canopy and diverse grass and forb groundcover, and were dominated by longleaf in the coastal plain, longleaf/shortleaf/loblolly in the Piedmont and interior highlands, and slash pine in south Florida.
