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.

Download or read book Field Classification of White Pine Blister Rust Stem cankers on Resistant Western White Pine in Northern Idaho and Determination of Respective Tissue Damage Through Tree Ring Analysis written by Amy I. Eckert and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western white pine historically dominated northern Idaho's forested landscape and was the Inland Empire's most economically important tree. White pine blister rust, caused by the exotic fungus Cronartium ribicola, played a principal role in the decline of western white pine. The pathogen causes branch and bole cankers, which usually girdle and kill their host. Efforts to restore western white pine populations are underway. Despite gains in resistance during over 50 years of tree improvement efforts, high infection rates still challenge growth and management of rust-resistant western white pine in northern Idaho. One rust- resistance expression of particular promise in tree breeding orchards is abnormal or slow stem-canker growth. Abnormal or slow stem-canker growth also appears to occur in pole-sized (15-20 years old) plantations of rust resistant western white pine in northern Idaho. The extent to which outward stem canker appearance is related to internal tree tissue damage has not been previously addressed. In this study, between 2004 and 2006, blister rust-caused stem cankers were grouped into three classes of expected severity based on field assessment of exterior canker characteristics. Cankers with the most aggressive looking characteristics (those with bright orange diamond-shaped margins, heavy resinosous, and no apparent defensive reaction of the host tree) were classified as Class I cankers. Cankers that had limited or no orange margins and had mild to moderate resinosous were classified as Class II cankers. Cankers with the least aggressive looking characteristics (those with no orange margins, tree tissue swelling to the extent that the swelling made a vertical depression on the tree bole, no resinosous, and an inactive appearance) were classified as Class III cankers. Stem cankers were examined on pole-sized, rust-resistant trees in three western white pine plantations in northern Idaho. After field classification, the cankers were harvested and cross-sectioned to determine: (1) the extent to which exterior canker appearance is related to internal tree tissue damage, (2) if tree circumference just prior to canker initiation is related to tree tissue damage during the first year following canker initiation, and (3) the relative impact of different class cankers on tree growth. Measurements of cross-sectioned cankers indicate statistically significant differences in tree circumferential tissue damage (percent tree girdle) during years 1 through 5 following canker initiation between canker Classes I and III, and between canker Classes II and III during years 1 through 8. Difference in median percent girdle was not significant between Classes I and II. Additionally, tree circumference just prior to canker initiation and tree tissue damage during the first year following canker initiation were positively correlated; as tree size increased, first year percent girdle of host trees also increased. Finally, the ratio of circumferential tree growth post-canker initiation to growth pre-canker initiation differed significantly among trees infected with different class cankers. Differences were significant between canker Classes I and III and between Classes II and III, but not between Classes I and II. Growth ratios were smaller for trees with more aggressive appearing cankers. These research results will help foresters field-classify stem cankers and predict performance of infected rust-resistant western white pine. Knowing the relative tree damage and impact on tree growth of cankers with different exterior characteristics will help foresters develop silvicultural prescriptions, including prescriptions for pruning and thinning to encourage development of target stand composition and structure. Abnormal or slow-growing cankers may indicate that their host will survive longer than expected. In addition, observed differences in canker morphology and growth of infected trees may enhance tree breeders' and geneticists' investigations of slow canker growth mechanisms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: White pine blister rust is an exotic, invasive disease that severely damages and kills white pines in the southern Rocky Mountains. We evaluated the efficacy of preventive pruning (removing lower branches) and/or sanitation pruning (removing cankered branches) to reduce disease impacts in limber (Pinus flexilis James) and Rocky Mountain bristlecone (P. aristata Englm.) pine in two recreation areas in the southern Rocky Mountains. We compared the benefits of the different pruning techniques based on the distribution and severity of cankers, tree height class (small = 20 ft, medium = 20 to 30 ft, and tall = 30 ft), and treatment feasibility and time. Preventive pruning removed less than half of all cankers at both sites. The most effective treatment, sanitation pruning, removed 98 to 100 percent of visible cankers. Cankers were located throughout tree crowns, and medium and tall trees had high incidences of cankers in the upper crown. Threatening cankers (cankers located on branches within 1 ft of or on the main stem) were common throughout the crowns of trees less than 30 ft tall. In 5 to 10 minutes per tree, crews reliably removed cankers up to 25 ft with ground based tools. Small and medium-sized trees will benefit most from pruning because nearly all threatening cankers can be removed with reasonable effort.
