Studies using mixtures of nitrogen-fixing plants mixed with loblolly pine showed no growth increase on a good site but a growth increase on a poor site. Soil nutrient studies showed that soils beneath alder, eleagnus, wax myrtle and red cedar had a higher nutrient concentration than soils not influenced by the crown. Monthly nutrient concentrations were quite variable.
