Selecting Coastal Plain Species for Wind Resistance

The term Southern Coastal Plain region is used to delineate the geographic area of the southeastern United States comprised of southern Georgia, southern Alabama, and northern Florida. The Southern Coastal Plain experiences a mild, temperate climate and can support a number of tropical and semi-tropical forage plant species. This region is located at the extreme limits for both tropical and temperate forage species. (SS-AGR-81/AA265: Forage Production in the Southern Coastal Plain Region)

Note: In March 2021, the UF/IFAS School of Forest Resources and Conservation (SFRC) changed its name to the School of Forest, Fisheries, and Geomatics Sciences (FFGS). Older publications will still use the older name.
