Time series analysis of limber pine (Pinus flexilis) health in the U.S. Rocky Mountains in response to white pine blister rust (Cronartium ribicola) and bark beetles
From 2004-2007, 106 permanent limber pine monitoring plots were established and measured throughout the U.S. Rocky Mountains (MT, WY, CO) to characterize health trends in response to white pine blister rust (WPBR) and bark beetles (including mountain pine beetle, "MPB", and Ips spp., "Ips") over …

Population Structure and Biophysical Density Correlates of Whitebark Pine (Pinus albicaulis) at Two Treelines in the Northern Rocky Mountains
… and biophysical correlates of density of two whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) populations in the northern Rocky Mountains. Whitebark pine is a keystone species and an important component of treeline ecosystem dynamics; however, subalpine populations have declined nearly rangewide in recent …

Landscape pattern and blister rust infection in whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) at alpine treeline, Northern Rocky Mountains, U.S.A.
Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) is a foundation and keystone species at alpine treelines of the northern Rocky Mountains and is threatened by the fungus white pine blister rust (Cronartium ribicola). This disease affects all five-needled white pines, but has caused particularly widespread …

Modeling Blister Rust Incidence in Whitebark Pine at Northern Rocky Mountain Alpine Treelines: A Geospatial Approach
The status of whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis), a foundation and keystone species and a pioneer establisher at alpine treeline, is threatened by the invasive and exotic fungal pathogen (Cronartium ribicola) that causes white pine blister rust in five-needled pines. Originally thought to be limited …

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 …

ASSESSMENT OF WHITEBARK PINE SEEDLING SURVIVAL FOR ROCKY MOUNTAIN PLANTINGS
Whitebark pine (WBP) is a keystone species of Rocky Mountain alpine and subalpine areas. A pervasive non-native fungal disease (white pine blister rust), mountain pine beetle infestation, and successional replacement by shade-tolerant competitors following decades of fire exclusion have severely …

Ecological Process and the Blister Rust Epidemic: Cone Production, Cone Predation, and Seed Dispersal in Whitebark Pine (Pinus albicaulis)
Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis), a high elevation foundation species, is experiencing population declines throughout the northern part of its range. The introduced fungal pathogen, Cronartium ribicola (white pine blister rust), infects whitebark pine and kills cone-bearing branches and trees. …

Geospatial Variation of an Invasive Forest Disease and the Effects on Treeline Dynamics in the Rocky Mountains
Whitebark pine is an important keystone and foundation species in western North American mountain ranges, and facilitates tree island development in Rocky Mountain treelines. The manifestation of white pine blister rust in the cold and dry treelines of the Rockies, and the subsequent infection and …

Restoration planting options for Pinus flexilis James in the southern Rocky Mountains
… threatened by the combined impacts of mountain pine beetles and white pine blister rust. P. flexilis' critical role in high elevation ecosystems heightens the importance of mitigating threats to P. flexilis survival. To develop forest-scale planting methods, six P. flexilis seedling planting …

The growth and productivity of ribes nigrum under various levels of shade and the implications for multifunctional woody polycultures
… 20th century, as it was an alternate host to the white pine blister rust (Cronartium ribicola J.C Fisch In Rabh.), which caused extensive damage to the white pine (Pinus strobus) lumber industry. Upon legalization in the latter half of the 20th century, black currants have been making a slow …
