Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are hypothesized to assist growth of northern white-cedar in acid peatlands, yet there is little direct evidence that they can provide sufficient resources, especially nitrogen (N), from unfertilized peat soils. Our objective was to determine mycorrhizal efficacy to support cedar growth and nutrient supply as part of a low-impact approach for ecological restoration of cedar in peatlands. We tested the effectiveness of AM inoculation in a greenhouse experiment in factorial combination with fertilization and liming. We also determined AM colonization rate in the different treatment combinations. We found that AM inoculation in the absence of fertilization …
Albedo-Induced Radiative Forcing From Mountain Pine Beetle Outbreaks In Forests, South-Central Rocky Mountains: Magnitude, Persistence, And Relation To Outbreak Severity, M. Vanderhoof, C. A. Williams, Y. Shuai, D. Jarvis, Dominik Kulakowski, J. Masek
Albedo-Induced Radiative Forcing From Mountain Pine Beetle Outbreaks In Forests, South-Central Rocky Mountains: Magnitude, Persistence, And Relation To Outbreak Severity, M. Vanderhoof, C. A. Williams, Y. Shuai, D. Jarvis, Dominik Kulakowski, J. Masek
Geography
Mountain pine beetle (MPB) outbreaks in North America are widespread and have potentially persistent impacts on forest albedo and associated radiative forcing. This study utilized multiple data sets, both current and historical, within lodgepole pine stands in the south-central Rocky Mountains to quantify the full radiative forcing impact of outbreak events for decades after outbreak (0-60 yr) and the role of outbreak severity in determining that impact. Change in annual albedo and radiative forcing peaked at 14-20 yr post-outbreak (0.06 ± 0.006 and-0.8 ± 0.1 W m-2, respectively) and recovered to pre-outbreak levels by 30-40 yr post-outbreak. Change in albedo …
Research Report No. 31, Observed Growth Rates Of Loblolly And Slash Pine Plantations In East Texas, H. Alexis Ross, J. David Lenhart
Research Report No. 31, Observed Growth Rates Of Loblolly And Slash Pine Plantations In East Texas, H. Alexis Ross, J. David Lenhart
Informal Project Reports
Of the approximately 11.2 million acres of forest in East Texas, about 2.5 million acres have been planted with loblolly pine trees ( Pinus taeda L. ) and 500,000 acres with slash pine trees ( Pinus elliottii Engelm. ). These plantations are owned by public, industrial and non-industrial private entities with industrial ownership dominating. Even though most pine plantations in East Texas are relatively young (20 years or less), plantation information is needed for management decision-making.

There is a relatively large source of unused aspen in the Southwest. If markets can be developed, there are challenging opportunities to utilize more of this fiber. Most aspen in the Southwest is classified in the marginal component because of steep slopes, accessibility and low market values. To meet the logging constraints of this component is a real challenge to prospective purchasers. However, commercial opportunities are feasible on the Carson, Santa Fe, Apache and Kaibab National Forests.
