Genetic selection for cold hardiness in coastal Douglas-fir seedlings and saplings

Creator:: O'Neill, Gregory Arthur, 1961-, Aitken, Sally N., and Adams, W. Thomas
Abstract:: Genetic control of cold hardiness in two-year-old seedlings was compared with that in 7-year-old saplings of 40 open-pollinated families in each of two breeding populations (Coast and Cascade) of coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) from western Oregon. In addition, the efficacy of bud phenology traits as predictors...

Underplanted conifer seedling survival and growth in thinned Douglas-fir stands

Creator:: Brandeis, Thomas James, Newton, Michael, and Cole, Elizabeth C.
Abstract:: In a multilevel study to determine limits to underplanted conifer seedling growth, Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), grand fir (Abies grandis (Dougl. ex D. Don) Lindl.), western redcedar (Thuja plicata Donn ex D. Don), and western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.) seedlings were planted beneath second-growth Douglas-fir stands that had...

The role of epiphytes in rainfall interception by forests in the Pacific Northwest. II. Field measurements at the branch and canopy scale

Creator:: Pypker, Thomas G., Unsworth, Michael H., and Bond, Barbara J.
Abstract:: To determine how epiphytes affect the canopy hydrology of old-growth Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) forests, we measured rainfall interception by individual branches and an entire stand from March 2003 to May 2004. Epiphyte-laden branches at heights of 3.1, 24.8 and 46.5 m remained partially saturated for most of the...

Comparison of charcoal and tree-ring records of recent fires in the eastern Klamath Mountains, California, USA

Creator:: Whitlock, Cathy, Skinner, Carl N., Bartlein, Patrick J., Minckley, Thomas, and Mohr, Jerry A.
Abstract:: Fire-history reconstructions are based on tree-ring records that span the last few centuries and charcoal data from lake-sediment cores that extend back several thousand years. The two approaches have unique strengths and weaknesses in their ability to depict past fire events and fire regimes, and most comparisons of these datasets...

The CP4 transgene provides high levels of tolerance to Roundup® herbicide in field-grown hybrid poplars

Creator:: Meilan, R., Han, K.-H., Ma, C., DiFazio, Stephen P., Eaton, J. A., Hoien, E. A., Stanton, B. J., Crockett, R. P., Taylor, M. L., James, R. R., Skinner, J. S., Jouanin, L., Pilate, G., and Strauss, S. H.
Abstract:: We tested two genes together in hybrid poplars (genus Populus), CP4 and GOX, for imparting tolerance to glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup® herbicide). Using Agrobacterium-based transformation, 80 independent transgenic lines (i.e., products of asexual gene transfer) were produced in a variety of hybrid poplar clones (40 lines in Populus...

Financial feasibility of marker-aided selection in Douglas-fir

Creator:: Johnson, G. R., Wheeler, N. C., and Strauss, S. H.
Abstract:: The land area required for a marker-aided selection (MAS) program to break-even (i.e., have equal costs and benefits) was estimated using computer simulation for coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) in the Pacific Northwestern United States. We compared the selection efficiency obtained when using an index that included the phenotype...

Detecting landscape changes in the interior of British Columbia from 1975 to 1992 using satellite imagery

Creator:: Sachs, Donald L., Sollins, Phillip, and Cohen, Warren B.
Abstract:: To consider the regional scale effects of forest management requires complete and consistent data over large areas. We used Landsat Thematic Mapper and Multispectral Scanner (TM and MSS) imagery to map forest cover and detect major disturbances between 1975 and 1992 for a 4.2 x 106 ha area of interior...

Growth and wood properties of genetically improved loblolly pine: propagation type comparison and genetic parameters

Creator:: Antony, Finto, Schimleck, Laurence R., Jordan, Lewis, Hornsby, Benjamin, Dahlen, Joseph, Daniels, Richard F., Clark, Alexander, III, Apiolaza, Luis A., and Huber, Dudley
Abstract:: The use of clonal varieties in forestry offers great potential to improve growth traits (quantity) and wood properties (quality) of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.). Loblolly pine trees established via somatic embryogenesis (clones), full-sib zygotic crosses, and half-sib zygotic open-pollinated families were sampled to identify variation in growth and wood...

Regenerating white spruce, paper birch, and willow in south-central Alaska

Creator:: Cole, E. C., Newton, Michael, and Youngblood, A.
Abstract:: The current spruce bark beetle (Dendroctonus rufipennis Kirby) epidemic in interior Alaska is leaving large expanses of dead spruce with little spruce regeneration. Many of these areas are habitat for moose (Alces alces). To establish spruce regeneration and improve browse production for moose, paper birch (Betula papyrifera Marsh), willow (Salix...

Shared compatibility of ectomycorrhizae on Pseudotsuga menziesii and Betula papyrifera seedlings grown in mixture in soils from southern British Columbia

Creator:: Simard, Suzanne W., Molina, Randy, Smith, Jane E., Perry, David A., and Jones, Melanie D.
Abstract:: Seedlings of Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco and Betula papyrifera Marsh. were grown in the greenhouse in monoculture and dual culture in soils collected from a young mixed species plantation in the southern interior of British Columbia. The objectives of the study were (i) to evaluate the ability of P. menziesii...
