In ecology and forestry, yellow pine refers to a number of conifer species that tend to grow in similar plant communities and yield similar strong wood.

Pitch canker infects nearly all pine species, including longleaf pine, shortleaf pine, and eastern white pine. This disease continues to be a problem in nurseries, and has been reported in other countries. [27] A major problem in Florida is that artificial replanting of pines may be contributing to high disease incidences. [26]
Flatwoods are an ecosystem maintained by wildfire or prescribed fire and are dominated by longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), and slash pine (Pinus elliotii) in the tree canopy and saw palmetto (Serenoa repens), gallberry (Ilex glabra) and other flammable evergreen shrubs in the understory, along with a high diversity of herb species.
