Book Microclimate and Mountain Pine Beetles in Two Ponderosa Pine Stands in the Black Hills Classic Reprint

Download or read book Microclimate and Mountain Pine Beetles in Two Ponderosa Pine Stands in the Black Hills Classic Reprint written by J. M. Schmid and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Microclimate and Mountain Pine Beetles in Two Ponderosa Pine Stands in the Black Hills Infestations of mountain pine beetles (dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) may be common in unthinned pine stands but are uncommon in thinned stands. Subtle differences in the biotic and abiotic stand conditions may account for the numbers of beetle attacked trees in the two types of stands. The abiotic conditions, generally referred to as microclimate, are thought to play an important role. Epidemics of the mountain pine beetle (mpb) commonly develop in relatively unmanaged stands of pure ponderosa pine (pinus ponderosa Lawson) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Growth of Ponderosa Pine Stands in Relation to Mountain Pine Beetle Susceptibility

Download or read book Growth of Ponderosa Pine Stands in Relation to Mountain Pine Beetle Susceptibility written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten-year diameter and basal area growth were determined for partially cut stands at 4 locations. Average diameters in the partially cut plots generally increased by 1 inch or more, while average diameter in the uncut controls increased by 0.9 inches or less. Individual tree growth is discussed in relation to potential susceptibility to mountain pine beetle infestation. Basal area increases ranged from 0.9 to 1.9 ft2/acre/ yr in partially cut plots, while basal area increases in the control plots ranged from 0.4 to 1.4 ft2/acre/yr. Endemic mountain pine beetle infestations and snow breakage accounted for most of the mortality on the plots, which decreased the residual basal area and basal area growth. Increases in basal area are used to estimate the length of time required for various stand densities to reach the susceptibility thresholds for mountain pine beetle infestation. Stand marking may influence future susceptibility to beetle infestations.

Book Ponderosa Pine Mortality Resulting from a Mountain Pine Beetle Outbreak

Download or read book Ponderosa Pine Mortality Resulting from a Mountain Pine Beetle Outbreak written by William F. McCambridge and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1965 to 1978, mountain pine beetles killed 25% of the pines taller than 4.5 feet in a study area in north-central Colorado. Average basal area was reduced from 92 to 58 square feet per acre. Mortality increased with tree diameter up to about 9 inches d.b.h. Larger trees appeared to be killed at random. Mortality was directly related to number of trees per acre and presence of dwarf mistletoe, but not to site index, elevation, and percent Douglas-fir in the stand.

Book Ponderosa Pine Mortality Resulting from a Mountain Pine Beetle Outbreak Classic Reprint

Download or read book Ponderosa Pine Mortality Resulting from a Mountain Pine Beetle Outbreak Classic Reprint written by William F. McCambridge and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ponderosa Pine Mortality Resulting From a Mountain Pine Beetle Outbreak Maximum tree mortality occurred during 1974, 1975, and 1976 and was estimated at about trees per year. Infested trees were noticeably fewer in 1977. The outbreak ended in 1978, when only a few, scattered trees were lightly infested. The mountain pine beetle epidemic in the park was part of a large outbreak that extended about 180 miles from the wyoming-colorado border, southward to the vicinity of Canon City, C010 and encompassed about acres of ponderosa pine type. Lory State Park is 7 miles west of Fort Collins, Colo. The elevation of the forest within the park extends from to feet. While ponderosa pine is the principal type, individual Douglas-firs are scattered in the pine stands and grow in pure stands on north facing slopes. Pine stands on steep, south slopes consist of scattered, open grown trees. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
