Ecología

Fauna:

Mammals

Squirrels and other animals eat the seeds. 





In southern Florida, old trees are known to support red-cockaded woodpeckers.

Hábitats nativos:

Moist sites. Low flatwoods, swamp edges, pine rockland, cutthroat seeps. Often cultivated in dry sites.

Área de distribución natural en Florida:

Comentarios:

Etnobotánica:

Comentarios generales:

Highly adaptable. While frequently in moist areas, broadly tolerant of dryness. Has been planted extensively for timber.



This tree occurs throughout Florida and has both southern and northern varieties with the southern form being more tolerant of fire.



Recent research on sea level rise indicates that significant salinity of water in the root zone will eliminate the species.  The area occupied by slash pine in the keys is shrinking.



Many places with slash pine plantations were formerly longleaf pine forests.  Many of these sites are too dry for optimal health of slash pine.
