In 1991 Pacific yew (Taxus brevifolia Nutt.) was reported as a new host for Phytophthora lateralis Tucker and Milbrath which is an aggressive root rot pathogen thought previously to be specific to Port-Orford-cedar. This study was designed to compare the pathogenicity of P. lateralis on the two hosts, and to...
This dissertation describes arthropod responses to and effects on decay processes in ponderosa pine, a dominant forest canopy tree in northern California. We used both descriptive and experimental field techniques to establish how arthropod assemblages depend on and are important to the disintegration of woody structures in forests of this...

Ponderosa pine is an important species both commercially and ecologically in western North America. This study considers the incidence of insect and disease pests on a series of replicated ponderosa pine research plantations in northern California. The studies, on an environmental gradient, contain a series of silvicultural treatments including vegetation...
Fluctuations in population density of Pratylenchus sp.,
Trichodorus sp., and Xiphinema americanum s. 1. in three blueberry
fields were determined monthly for one year. Pratylenchus densities
were greatest in August and least in October. Three distinct
periods of population growth occurred; during January, April, and
between June and August. Trichodorus...
Nematodes are roundworms with complex organ systems. They occur worldwide in all environments. Most species benefit agriculture by contributing to decomposition of organic matter and are important members of the food chain. Some species are parasitic to plants or animals. More than 2,000 of the 20,000
identified nematode species are...
