Download or read book Elytroderma Disease in Young Jeffrey Pine South Lake Tahoe California written by Robert F. Scharpf and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little is known about Elytrodema disease (Elytroderma deformans [Weir] Darker) in seedlings or very young trees. Of 100, 2-0 Jeffrey pine (Pinu jeffreyi Grev. & Balf.) seedlings planted in the Taylor Creek area of South Lake Tahoe, about half survived from 1973 to 1987. During this period about two thirds of the surviving seedlings became infected with Elytroderma disease. Of the trees that died, only three were infected with the disease, and none was infected before 1981-82. Earliest infection of surviving seedlings was in 1976, with 1980-81 the only interval without infection. More than half of the infected trees were infected in the terminal shoot, indicating future impact on survival and height growth. No significant growth effects were measured between infected and noninfected trees in this study, however. On sites with high disease hazard at Lake Tahoe, avoid planting Jeffrey pines. Regenerate with resistant conifer species.

Download or read book Lake Tahoe written by Thomas Bachand and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2008-04-02 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Bachand's stunning photographs of Lake Tahoe capture the sublime beauty of this beloved natural wonder while also illustrating its fragility. Bachand has been making photographs of the lake and its environs for more than ten years, creating images that possess a timeless vocabulary of water, rock, and sky. Bachaund's images also depict the transition that the lake and its surrounding are undergoing due to tourism and development. These two sides of Bachand's work - presented here for the first time - reflect the delicate balance that exists between conservation and growth in the region. An introduction by Dr. Charles R. Goldman, founder and director of the Tahoe Research Group at UC Davis, addresses how factors as diverse as development and global climate change threaten Lake Tahoe's legendary clear blue waters. In addition, excerpts from Mark Twain's seminal volume Roughing It remind us of the lake's awe-inspiring grandeur as it appeared more than a century ago. Lake Tahoe: A Fragile Beauty celebrates the natural splendor of a region that is also a key arena for many of the salient environmental issues facing our time. Bachand's exploration of Tahoe's singular loveliness, rich history, and universal challenges conveys the area's extraordinary character, and our need to understand and care for this unique jewel. -- from dust jacket.

Download or read book Skiing at Lake Tahoe written by Mark McLaughlin and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-30 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organized ski racing in America started near Lake Tahoe in the 1860s when gold miners rode 15-foot boards that reached speeds near 100 miles per hour. By 1895, residents of Truckee had started the nation's first winter carnival west of the Rocky Mountains and soon built the largest ski jump in California. Today's Lake Tahoe, with significant annual snowfall, has become home to the largest concentration of ski resorts on the continent. Places like Mount Rose, Squaw Valley (home of the 1960 Winter Olympics), Sugar Bowl, Heavenly Valley, Homewood, Sierra-at-Tahoe, Alpine Meadows, Kirkwood, Diamond Peak, Donner Ski Ranch, Granlibakken, and Northstar-at-Tahoe have seen skiing styles, sports, and fashions churn through the decades, while now gone resorts, such as Edelweiss and White Hills Ski Resort, echo the memories of yesterday's skiers through the pines.
