An assessment of dwarf mistletoes in Montana

Creator:

Abstract:

Dwarf mistletoes reduce tree height and diameter, and thereby cause a reduction in volume production. We estimate that volume reduction in Montana is about 33.2 MM cubic feet per year. Mistletoe effects are problems in some areas because of the demands we have placed on the Forests for goods and...

Growth impact, spread, and intensification of dwarf mistletoe in Douglas-fir and lodgepole pine in Montana

Creator:

Dooling, Oscar J., Johnson, Ralph R., Eder, Robert G., and United States. Forest Service. Northern Region
