Management Strategies for Pitch Canker Infected Año Nuevo Stands of Monterey Pine
<p>The future resilience of Pinus radiata D. Don (Monterey pine) is dependent upon the development of a silviculture program inclusive of either preventative or management techniques for the potentially fatal pitch canker disease (Fusarium circinatum Nirenberg and O’Donnell [=F.subglutinans …

Ectomycorrhizal Fungal Succession in a Native Monterey Pine Forest and Its Potential Influence Upon Forest Population Dynamics
… fungal succession occurs within a native Monterey pine forest and parallels the trajectory observed in the well-studied bishop pine system. I also characterized the abiotic environmental factors strongly associated with successional changes in community composition. The hypothesis was …

Mortality Assessment of Redwood and Mixed Conifer Forest Types in Santa Cruz County Following Wildfire
… Pacific madrone, big leaf maple, Douglas-fir, Monterey pine, and knobcone pine. Quantitative damage criteria were used to design three Mortality Assessment models (MA), divided into three diameter at breast height classes (1-8.9, 9-16.9, >17 inches), for all tree species. These models were …

Influence of Varying Inorganic Nutrients Supply on Ergosterol and Glucosamine Concentrations and Biomass Nutrient Stoichiometry in Ectomycorrhizal Fungi
… nutrient conditions. Finally, seedlings of Monterey pine (<em>Pinus radiata</em>) were inoculated with the ECM fungus <em>Rhizopogon occidentalis</em> and grown in mycocosms to assess patterns of fungal growth, production and turnover. This controlled mycocosm approach resulted in lower …

Development of a Laboratory Protocol for the Micropropagation of Monterey Pines (<i>Pinus Radiata</i>), Año Nuevo Stand
<p>Monterey pine (Pinus radiata), a native tree to California and two Mexican islands, is important both ecologically and economically. Outside native stands, Monterey pines are grown for landscaping in California and on plantations around the world. Pitch canker, a disease caused by the fungus …

Analysis of a <i>Pinus Radiata</i> Seed Stock Field in the Native Año Nuevo Stand in California
… disease observed is actually caused by Diplodia pinea (Desm.) Kickx. Survival analysis showed that the effect of tree genetic origin was significant to its time to disease, and that spatial location in the plantation was also significant. Average nearest neighbor analysis showed disease …

Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) Tree Preference and Intersite Movement at California Overwintering Sites
… coastal California, native conifers such as Monterey cypress (<em>Hesperocyparis macrocarpa</em>) and pitch canker-resistant Monterey pine (<em>Pinus radiata</em>) should be planted as replacements for blue gum eucalyptus in areas where trees are likely to fall, and around the perimeter of …

Genetic And Temporal Variation In Resource Exchange Between An Ectomycorrhizal Fungus, Rhizopogon Occidentalis, And Seedlings Of Pinus Radiata
… the development of the mycorrhizal mutualism. Pine seedlings from the Cambria population transferred greater amounts of carbon to the ectomycorrhizal fungus, with the majority of this carbon being respired by fungal biomass. The ratio of resources exchanged did not vary over time or between …
