  1. Shrinkage characteristics of lodgepole pine

    … of two North American varieties of lodgepole pine: Pinus contorta var. latifolia and Pinus contorta var. murrayana, sampled at 10% of tree height. For var. murrayana, size was the only factor that had a significant effect on specific gravity; specific gravity decreased with …

  2. Longitudinal air permeability of lodgepole pine

    … replicates, representing two varieties of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta, vars. latifolia and murrayana) were measured with a steady state apparatus. It was found that the mean ratio of sapwood to heartwood permeability was ca. 10:1 for both varieties. The mean ratio of var. latifolia to …

  3. Growth of juvenile lodgepole pine in relation to soil and slope

    … that exist in pure evenage juvenile stands of lodgepole pine. The study is a basis for developing methods that will eventually predict site productivity. A pure evenage stand of lodgepole pine 18 to 20 years in age was chosen for study. Research was limited to an east aspect in this stand. The …

  4. Forest recovery trends following an unprecedented mountain pine beetle outbreak in the southern Rocky Mountains

    Following the mountain pine beetle (MPB) outbreak in the early 2000s in the southern Rocky Mountains, questions remain about what the structure and composition of lodgepole pine forests will look like as they recover. I used Forest Inventory and Analysis data collected by the US Department of …

  5. The microbial communities and nutrient availability in pre and post harvested lodgepole pine stands of west-central Alberta

    … (nitrogen and phosphorus) availability within lodgepole pine stands of the Boreal Plain ecozone in west-central Alberta. Six stands of different ages were selected to determine the differences between pre and post harvest. Nutrient flux measurements were conducted using plant root simulator …

  6. Hydrologic significance of stand density variations in Alberta lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. (Moench) Voss. var. latifolia Engelm.) forests

    … in natural and previously thinned stands of lodgepole pine in west central Alberta. Secondary objectives dealt with precipitation redistribution within forest stands, the utility of trough gauges in throughfall estimation, and sample numbers required in soil moisture sampling. Snowpack was …

  7. Management decision-making tools for mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) populations in lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) stands

    To prevent the buildup of epidemic level mountain pine beetle populations, conditions of the stand environment they inhabit must be altered. Silvicultural treatment is the most effective means for doing this. Preventative treatments work best when applied while mountain pine beetle populations are …

  8. Mountain pine beetle outbreaks in high elevation whitebark pine forests: the effects of tree host species and blister rust infection severity on beetle productivity

    In recent years, the mountain pine beetle (MPB, Dendroctonus ponderosae) has caused dramatic levels of mortality of whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis). This keystone and foundation tree species is also being killed by the exotic fungus, Cronartium ribicola, which causes the disease white pine

    … Lake, Colorado has experienced a severe mountain pine beetle outbreak over the past twenty years. The aim of this study was to map lodgepole pine mortality and health decline due to mountain pine beetle. Multispectral data spanning a five-year period from 2006 to 2011 were used to assess the …
