Comparison Of Two Roadside Survey Procedures For Dwarf Mistletoes On The Sawtooth National Forest, Idaho, Robert L. Mathiasen, James T. Hoffman, John C. Guyon, Linda L. Wadleigh Jan 1996

Comparison Of Two Roadside Survey Procedures For Dwarf Mistletoes On The Sawtooth National Forest, Idaho, Robert L. Mathiasen, James T. Hoffman, John C. Guyon, Linda L. Wadleigh

United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Two roadside surveys were conducted for dwarf mistletoes parasitizing lodgepole pine and Douglas-fir on the Sawtooth National Forest, Idaho. One survey used variable-radius plots located less than 150 m from roads. The 2nd survey used variable-radius plots established at 200-m intervals along 1600-m transects run perpendicular to the same roads. Estimates of the incidence (percentage of trees infected and percentage of plots infested) and severity (average dwarf mistletoe rating) for both lodgepole pine and Douglas-fir dwarf mistletoes were not significantly different for the 2 survey methods. These findings are further evidence that roadside-plot surveys and transect-plot surveys conducted away from …

Forest Stand Dynamics, Update Edition, Chadwick Dearing Oliver, Bruce A. Larson Jan 1996

Forest Stand Dynamics, Update Edition, Chadwick Dearing Oliver, Bruce A. Larson

Yale School of the Environment Other Publications

This book describes the various growth patterns of forests from a mechanistic point of view. Its purpose is to help silviculturists, forest managers, and ecologists understand and anticipate how forests grow and respond to intentional manipulations and natural disturbances. Demands on the forest have been increasing for timber production, wildlife habitat, water protection, recreation, and protection from fires, insects, and diseases. These demands have created an emphasis on prescribing site-specific treatments for individual stands of trees, rather than treating broad areas uniformly

Pinus Ponderosa Seedling Establishment And The Influence Of Competition With The Bunchgrass Agropyron Spicatum, Peter F. Kolb, Ronald Robberecht Jan 1996

Pinus Ponderosa Seedling Establishment And The Influence Of Competition With The Bunchgrass Agropyron Spicatum, Peter F. Kolb, Ronald Robberecht

Forest Management Faculty Publications

Interspecific competition between Agropyron spicatum (Pursh.) Scrib. & Smith bunchgrasses and naturally established seedlings of Pinus ponderosa was examined within a pine/bunchgrass community. A wire mesh was used to separate bunchgrass culms from pine seedling shoots to determine if the bunchgrass canopy influenced the survival of pine seedlings. In addition, two lengths of root exclusion tubes were used to determine the effects of bunchgrass root overlap on pine seedlings. The bunchgrass canopy did not significantly affect pine seedling survival. However, root competition, presumably for water, significantly decreased pine seedling survival. Exclusion of bunchgrass roots from a 0.15-m- and 0.30-m-deep root …

Book Review: Managing Northern Forest Birds, Richard M. Degraaf Jan 1996

Book Review: Managing Northern Forest Birds, Richard M. Degraaf

United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Janet Green's clearly written book goes a long way toward clarifying the ecological issues involved as they apply to the forested regions of Minnesota. Birds and Forests is written as an instructive guide for non-specialists who want to know about the issues involved in ecosystem-based management of forests and wildlife in Minnesota. Green eschews 'wildlife habitat,' which is vague and begs the question, which wildlife? Instead, the focus is on birds because of their diversity, habitat specificity, relative ease of study, and popularity.

Fire Frequency And The Vegetative Mosaic Of A Spruce-Fir Forest In Northern Utah, Linda Wadleigh, Michael J. Jenkins Jan 1996

Fire Frequency And The Vegetative Mosaic Of A Spruce-Fir Forest In Northern Utah, Linda Wadleigh, Michael J. Jenkins

United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Fire scar and vegetative analysis were used to construct a fire history for the Engelmann spruce/subalpine fir (Picea engelmannii/Abies lasiocarpa) vegetation type of the Utah State University (USU) T. W Daniel Experimental Forest. Three distinct periods of fire frequency were established-presettlement (1700-1855), settlement (1856-1909), and suppression (1910-1990). Mean fire interval (MFI) decreased during the settlement period and greatly increased during the suppression era. The difference was attributed to the influx of ignition sources during the settlement of nearby Cache Valley, located 40 km to the west. Logging and livestock grazing appear to have led to the reduced MFI, …

Spatial Relationships Among Young Cercocarpus Ledifolius (Curlleaf Mountain Ylahogany), Brad W. Schultz, Robin J. Tausch, Paul T. Tueller Jan 1996

Spatial Relationships Among Young Cercocarpus Ledifolius (Curlleaf Mountain Ylahogany), Brad W. Schultz, Robin J. Tausch, Paul T. Tueller

United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

This study analyzed spatial location patterns of Cercocarpus ledifolius Nutt. (curlleaf mountain mahogany) plants, classified as current-year seedling, established seedling, juvenile, and immature individuals, at a central Nevada study site. Most current-year seedlings were located in mahogany stands in which large, mature individuals had the greatest abundance. These stands had greater litter cover and a thicker layer of litter than areas with few current- year seedlings. Most established young Cercocarpus were located in adjacent Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana (mountain big sagebrush) communities, or in infrequent canopy gaps between relatively few large, mature Cercocarpus. We discuss potential roles of plant litter, …

Identification And Characterization Of A Rapd-Pcr Marker For Distinguishing Asian And North American Gypsy Moths, K.J. Garner Jan 1996

Identification And Characterization Of A Rapd-Pcr Marker For Distinguishing Asian And North American Gypsy Moths, K.J. Garner

United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

The recent introduction of the Asian gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) into North America has necessitated the development of genetic markers to distinguish Asian moths from the established North American population, which originated in Europe. We used RAPD-PCR to identify a DNA length polymorphism that is diagnostic for the two moth strains. The polymorphism maps to an autosomal locus with codominant Mendelian inheritance. DNA sequence analyses of the Asian and North American forms enabled development of locus-specific primers so that this marker, designated FS-1, will be useful for strain identification under varying conditions in different laboratories.
