Compounding Fire Disturbance History Encourages Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) Regeneration and Community Dominance
<p>Disturbance is fundamental to forest ecosystem function and overall health, but climate change is likely to increase both disturbance frequency and intensity in the future. Forests subject to increasingly frequent and intense disturbances are more likely to experience compounding disturbance …

Development of in vitro regeneration and gene transfer systems for conifer species
In vitro shoot establishment and proliferation of Sequoia sempervirens Endl. stem segments on a Wolter and Skoog (WS) medium supplemented with 15 $\mu$M zeatin was found to be optimum for shoot proliferation. Using in vitro-grown needles of S. sempervirens, shoot organogenesis and somatic …

The influence of intraspecific variation in host plants on arthropod and fungal endophyte communities
… intra-individual variation among redwood trees (Sequoia sempervirens) can affect foliar fungal communities. In Chapter Three, I determine the relative influence of host-associated variation, abiotic conditions, and interspecific microbial interactions for shaping fungal endophyte communities in …

Effects of Silvicultural Management on Coast Redwood Forest Composition, Density and Structure in Santa Cruz and San Mateo Counties
… regimes commonly applied to coast redwood (<em>Sequoia sempervirens </em>[D. Don] Endl.) forests in Santa Cruz and San Mateo Counties, California, USA. A temporary forest inventory was installed in 24 harvest origin stands and 4 natural origin stands throughout the study area (sample area = 1189 …

Characteristics and Management Implications of Mollic Soils in Forest Versus Grassland Settings in Central California
… Mollisols. Soils beneath the southern extent of Sequoia sempervirens (redwood) forests in central California are mapped as Molliols. It widely accepted that redwood forests harbor considerable biomass C, but the extent to which aboveground C is retained in the soil is not well understood. This …
