“…Southwestern white pine is a minor or major seral white pine is susceptible to blister rust. This stem disease is lethal to seedlings and saplings and has recently become established in southern New Mexico (Hawksworth and Conklin 1990). In some areas, southwestern white pine could even be extirpated.…”

“…lambertiana), and whitebark pine ( P albicaulis). In 1990, the rust was discovered in the Southwest on southwestern white pine (Hawksworth 1990); the rust probably first became established about 1970 near Cloudcroft, New Mexico. Surveys indicate the rust is now present throughout the Sacramento Mountains (Hawksworth and Conklin 1990) and adjacent Capitan Mountains.…”

This report documents an ecological assessment of forest ecosystem health in the Southwest. The assessment focuses at the regional level and mostly pertains to lands administered by the National Forest System. Information is presented for use by forest and district resource managers as well as collaborative partners in the stewardship of Southwestern forests. The report establishes a scientific basis for conducting forest health projects, provides a context for planning ecosystem restoration, and contributes to the understanding of the physical, biological, and human dimensions of these ecosystems. Chapters describe Southwestern forest ecosystems of the past, changes since the Colonial Period, and the implications of those changes for the health of current and future forests. Opportunities, tools, and research needs for improving long-term sustainability of these forest ecosystems are also identified.

“…WPBR was discovered on limber pine in North Dakota (Draper and Walla 1993) and South Dakota (Lundquist and others 1992) in 1992. In 1990, the disease was discovered on southwestern white pine in the Sacramento Mountains of southern New Mexico on the Lincoln National Forest (Hawksworth 1990 Vogler, personal communication), but the disease has never been reported on pine hosts in that state.…”

“…The thickwalled and pigmented spores produced on white pines, which infect ribes, often disperse tens of kilometers and are even capable of surviving for days while traveling hundreds of kilometers (Mielke 1943). Recently discovered disjunct outbreaks of WPBR suggest LDD to south-central New Mexico (Hawksworth 1990), western South Dakota (Lundquist et al 1992), central North Dakota (Draper and Walla 1993), northeastern Nevada (Vogler and Charlet 2004), southern Colorado (Blodgett and Sullivan 2004), central Utah (B.W.

“…Although the Sacramento Mountains of south-central New Mexico had long been recognized as highly vulnerable to WPBR (Bureau of Plant Industry 1921), its first discovery was reported by Hawksworth (1990) several decades after the rust was known in the nearest populations of susceptible pines in California, Idaho and Wyoming. Genetic analysis (Hamelin et al 2000) concluded that the New Mexico rust population had recently experienced a demographic bottleneck and was more similar to populations in California than other potential sources.…”

Synoptic climatology of the long-distance dispersal of white pine blister rust II. Combination of surface and upper-level conditions

et al. 2008

An invasive forest pathogen, Cronartium ribicola, white pine blister rust (WPBR), is believed to have arrived in the Sacramento Mountains of south-central New Mexico about 1970. Epidemiological and genetic evidence supports the hypothesis that introduction was the result of long-distance dispersal (LDD) by atmospheric transport from California. This study applies a method to identify the atmospheric conditions favorable for rust transport and infection. An upper level synoptic classification (ULSC) identifies patterns of upper-level flow favorable for the transport of rust spores from a source to a target. Transport data are coupled with data for surface conditions favorable for infection at a designated target. A resulting calendar lists likelihood classes for establishment by four-times-daily observations during a dispersal season from April through July in the years 1965 to 1974. The single most-favorable period for transport and infection at the New Mexico site was identified as 1-15 June 1969. Five additional sites in the western United States with susceptible white pine populations and known infestation status were then evaluated to verify the model. Only the infested sites exhibit an establishment likelihood of "high" or "very high." This suggests that the methodology correctly identifies locations with elevated establishment likelihood. Finally, likelihoods at nine additional points in the southwestern United States are determined and used to map regional patterns of transport, infection and establishment. The ULSC combined with appropriate surface meteorological data could be used to further investigate transport and infection, identify other areas at risk, assess the potential for gene flow of WPBR and evaluate long-distance dispersal of other pathogens.
