Book Limber Pine and White Pine Blister Rust Monitoring and Assessment Guide for Rocky Mountain National Park

Download or read book Limber Pine and White Pine Blister Rust Monitoring and Assessment Guide for Rocky Mountain National Park written by Christy Cleaver and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Limber pine, designated by Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) as a Species of Management Concern, is a keystone species that maintains ecosystem structure, function, and biodiversity. Limber pine is declining in the park due to the interacting effects of recent severe droughts and the climate-exasperated mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) outbreak, and is threatened by the invasion of the non-native pathogen (Cronartium ribicola) that causes the lethal disease white pine blister rust (WPBR). White pine blister rust was confirmed in the park in 2010 (Schoettle et al. 2011; Schoettle et al. 2018b) and several new infections were discovered in this area during the fall of 2017 (Burns 2018). The disease is expected to spread and intensify, thereby causing mortality and negative impacts to biodiversity, ecosystem processes, and park resources in a changing climate. These same stressors are causing widespread mortality throughout much of limber pine’s range and basal area losses are projected to exceed 40% over the next 15 years (Cleaver et al. 2015, Kearns and Jacobi 2007, Krist et al. 2014). Loss of this keystone species will ultimately lead to cascading ecological impacts and loss of biodiversity in RMNP.

This book was released on 2012-10-22 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: White pine blister rust (WPBR) is an exotic, invasive fungal disease of white, stone, and foxtail pines (also referred to as white pines or five-needle pines) in the genus Pinus and subgenus Strobus (Price and others 1998). The disease, which is native to Asia, was accidentally introduced separately into eastern and western North America at the beginning of the 20th century. In the West, WPBR was introduced on infected eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) nursery stock shipped to Vancouver, B.C., from France in 1910. Since then, the disease has spread into the distributions of most western white pines. Although all of the North American white pine species are susceptible to WPBR (Bingham 1972, Hoff and others 1980), it was once thought that the remote, dry habitats occupied by the noncommercial, high elevation white pines would not support rust establishment. Unfortunately, WPBR can now be found in many of these areas. Cronartium ribicola, the fungus that causes WPBR, requires an alternate host-currants and gooseberries in the genus Ribes and possibly species of Pedicularis and Castilleja (McDonald and others 2006, Zambino and others 2007)-to complete its life cycle. WPBR infects Ribes seasonally, causing minimal damage such as leaf spots and premature defoliation. The infections are shed each year with leaf abscission. The disease is perennial on infected pines, causing cankers that usually lead to mortality. WPBR has killed millions of acres of trees resulting in dramatic changes in successional pathways and ecosystem functions, and the disease continues to spread and intensify wherever five-needle pines occur despite control efforts. Management strategies have been developed for the commercial white pine species, but these strategies have not been tested on the high elevation, noncommercial species. The Rocky Mountain Region is in a unique position in that a large portion of our susceptible white pine distribution is currently not yet impacted by blister rust. It may be possible to implement proactive management strategies in threatened areas that may prevent or mitigate severe impacts in the future. The objective of this publication is to provide land managers with the knowledge and tools necessary to identify WPBR, evaluate impacted stands, and develop appropriate management strategies for preserving high-value trees, restoring impacted stands, and sustaining white pine ecosystems in the Rocky Mountain Region. This publication synthesizes current information on the biology, distribution, and management of white pine blister rust (WPBR) in the Rocky Mountain Region. In this Region, WPBR occurs within the range of Rocky Mountain bristlecone pine (Pinus aristata), limber pine (P. flexilis), and whitebark pine (P. albicaulis). This disease threatens white pine species and ecosystems in some of our most treasured public and private lands, including the wildland-urban interface, Wilderness Areas, and National Parks such as Rocky Mountain National Park and Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. Long-term management strategies and management options for sustaining ecosystems and preserving high-value trees are presented. This information provides forest managers with knowledge and resources needed to detect WPBR, evaluate impacted stands, and develop management strategies that are applicable in the Rocky Mountain Region.

Book Economic Guides for Blister rust Control in the East

Download or read book Economic Guides for Blister rust Control in the East written by Robert Jay Marty and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: S2White pine blister rust (Cronartium ribicola, Fischer) is a virulent and potentially serious disease of eastern white pine (Pinus strobus, L.) Control of this introduced rust has been carried on since about 1910 in the eastern United States. Today, after more than 50 years of control effort, the occurrence of blister rust in this region is gratifyingly infrequent. Because of effective and continuing control programs, blister rust has been brought under control, and is not now a serious threat to pine management in most areas of the East. Yet, control must continue if blister rust is to remain under control in the future.S3.
