We determined the spatial pattern of dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium
spp.) associated with two different conifer hosts, white fir (Abies
concolor) and Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi), in forests around the Lake
Tahoe Basin and at the Teakettle Experimental Forest, both located in the
Sierra Nevada. We also examined a number of...
We determined the incidence of pathogens and insects across mixed-conifer stands in the Sierra San Pedro
Martir (SSPM) of northern Baja, Mexico, to assess the role of pests in a pristine forest ecosystem. We also determined
the spatial distribution of the two most common pests, mistletoe, Phoradendron pauciflorum Torrey, and...
Mortality patterns in an old-growth, mixed-conifer forest, in the absence of wildfire, were investigated at the Teakettle Experimental Forest from 2000 to 2002. We tested the hypothesis that after a century of fire suppression, pathogen- and insect-associated mortality (between episodic droughts) would be significantly greater on ingrowth trees (i.e., smaller-diameter,...
