“…At a Duluth conference (S tine and B aughman 1992), ecosystem and non‐commodity values of eastern white pine emerged as critical interests. Although focused on whitebark pine conservation, a Bozeman conference (S chmidt and M c D onald 1990) was the first to consider the special status of alpine white pines. The theme was repeated for stone pines at a St. Moritz conference (S chmidt and H oltmeir 1994).…”

White pines, Ribes, and blister rust: a review and synthesis

2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

For over a century, white pine blister rust (Cronartium ribicola) has linked white pines (Strobus) with currants and gooseberries (Ribes) in a complex and serious disease epidemic in Asia, Europe, and North America. Because of ongoing changes in climate, societal demands for forests and their amenities, and scientific advances in genetics and proteomics, our current understanding and management of the white pine blister rust pathosystem has become outdated. Here, we present a review and synthesis of international scope on the biology and management of blister rust, white pines, Ribes, and other hosts. In this article, we provide a geographical and historical background, describe the taxonomy and life cycle of the rust, discuss pathology and ecology, and introduce a series of invited papers. These review articles summarize the literature on white pines, Ribes, and blister rust with respect to their status, threats, and management through genetics and silviculture. Although the principal focus is on North America, the different epidemics in Europe and Asia are also described. In the final article, we discuss several of the key observations and conclusions from the preceding review articles and identify prudent actions for research and management of white pine blister rust.

“…Its periodic crops of large wingless seeds provide a major food source for several species of birds and mammals including the black bear and grizzly bear (Schmidt and McDonald 1990). Wildlife biologists have noted that for several months after production of a large whitebark pine cone crop, bears concentrate their feeding on cone caches made by squirrels and tend to stay away from lower elevation encounters with humans and their habituations (Kendall 1980).…”

This report presents a summary of the most recent inventory information for Idaho's forest lands. The report includes descriptive highlights and tables of area, number of trees, biomass, volume, growth, mortality, and removals. Most of the tables are organized by forest type, species, diameter class, or owner group. The report also describes inventory design, inventory terminology, and data reliability. Results show that Idaho's forest land totals 21.4 million acres. Nearly 76 percent (16.2 million acres) of this forest land is administered by the USDA Forest Service. Douglas-fir forests cover almost 6.3 million acres or roughly 29 percent of Idaho's forested lands, making it the most abundant forest type in the State. The lodgepole pine type is the second-most common type comprising 11.5 percent of Idaho's forest land. In terms of number of individual trees, subalpine fir is the single most abundant tree species in Idaho. Net annual growth of all live trees 5.0 inches diameter and greater on Idaho forest land totaled 376.2 million cubic feet. Average annual mortality totaled nearly 814.6 million cubic feet.

“…Not only were the effects of treatments on the various resources evaluated during this "new" research period, but basic information about nutrient capitals, insect! disease/animallhost forest relationships, associated vegetation, woody residue relationships, and other data were developed in the last two decades (USDA Forest Service 1980; Baumgartner and others 1985;Baumgartner and Lotan 1988;Schmidt 1988;Schmidt and McDonald 1990).…”

Getting to the future through silviculture - Workshop proceedings

1992

The 1991 National Silviculture Workshop was held in Cedar City, UT, and hosted by the Intermountain Region's (Region 4) Dixie National Forest. The purpose of the workshop was to discuss, review, and share information about the silvicultural challenges and opportunities facing the Forest Service in the coming decade. This workshop was a joint effort of the Washington Office Timber Management (WO-TM) and Forest Management Research (FMR) staffs.The WO-TM and FMR staffs appreciate the efforts of our hosts from the Dixie National Forest, the Intermountain Region staff, and the Intermountain Research Station staff. We also extend our thanks to all who made presentations, participated during the workshop, and contributed a paper to this proceedings. Special thanks to Jack Amundson RO-TM, and Brian Ferguson, silviculturist, Dixie National Forest, for making it all happen.By now you have noticed the new look of the proceedings for this workshop. In the past the proceedings were compiled and edited by the WO-TM staff. This process has not been as efficient as we would like so we have made arrangements for this proceedings as well as future proceedings for the National Silviculture Workshop to be handled by the research station co-hosting the workshop. This also will make the proceedings a numbered Station publication (General Technical Report) and more readily available for interested parties wanting copies. We hope these changes will provide for timely publication of the proceedings in the future.
