Hello,

I just noticed that the link provided for citation #1 is broken and produces a 404 page when clicked. I thought this may be an issue to the integrity of the information on the page.

Does Liriodendron tulipifera grow in hardwood swamps in the pine barrens, as this article now claims? Its own page has a distribution map that shows it growing around but not in the pine-barrens regions of New Jersey and Long Island. - LaetusStudiis (talk) 01:14, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have not read a journal article saying it doesn't. However, I am an ecologist (Ph.D and all) who grew up in the NJ pine barrens (or as we like to encourage people to call them the Pinelands, because they are very diverse and full of life). I still live within 10 miles, but the dirt in my yard isn't Sand any more.

I can say I have never seen a Tulip Poplar in the pine barrens. I have one my current yard. It's probably possible in some areas there could be a few, but they would not survive an area that hasn't had continues fire suppression for a very long time. I think they could probably tolerate the soil enough to survive if not thrive into the big old tall telephone pole trees you think of when you think of a tulip poplar (or tulip tree depending on where you learned dendro I imagine). I don't really do any editing but I can support an argument to remove the suggestion that they live in the pine barrens (at least those in NJ). Bug Doctor, Ph.D (talk) 01:35, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
