The enlargement of 21 canopy gaps associated with the root pathogen Heterobasidion annosum (Fr.:Fr.)
Bref. (; Fomes annosus (Fr.) Karst.) in the mixed-conifer forest of Yosemite Valley was monitored between 1971 and
1998. Mean expanded gap area was 232 m2 (range 38–802 m2) in 1971 and 1455 m2 (range 150–4216...
Because studies of forestry effects on wetlands have been so infrequent in the Pacific Northwest, each section in this report drew heavily from studies of forestry impacts to streams and riparian zones. After assembly and synthesis, that information was extrapolated, mostly in the form of hypotheses, to the very different...
National Forest Plans have been developed and implemented on the 19 National Forests and one National Grassland in the Pacific Northwest Region, Region 6, of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service. These Plans were developed under the provisions of the National Forest Management Act of 1976 and the National...

Over 10,000 acres of aerially visible western hemlock looper defoliation on grand fir was detected on State and Federal forests of central Idaho in 1972. This is the first report of this insect building up
in Region 1 since a widespread outbreak in 1937-39.
The western hemlock looper has the...
Forty-seven isolates of Fusarium solani obtained from the roots of diseased and healthy conifer seedlings and forest nursery soil were tested for pathogenicity on young Douglas-fir germinants under controlled laboratory conditions. Isolate virulence varied widely; a few were highly virulent whereas many were classified as non-pathogenic. Isolates from the roots...
