Ponderosa Pine, Mixed Conifer, and Spruce-fir Forests
Before European settlement of the interior west of the United States, coniferous forests of this region were influenced by many disturbance regimes, primarily fires, insects, diseases, and herbivory, which maintained a diversity of successional stages and vegetative types across landscapes. Activities after settlement, such as fire suppression, grazing, and logging significantly altered these d...
متن کاملManagement of mixed oak-pine forests under climate scenario uncertainty
The process-based forest growth model 4C (FORESEE FORESt Ecosystems in a Changing Environment) was used to analyze the growth of a mixed oak-pine stand [Quercus petraea (Mattuschka) Liebl., Pinus sylvestris L.]. The oak-pine stand is typical for the ongoing forest transformation in the north-eastern lowlands. The pine and the oak trees are 104 and 9 years old, respectively. Three different mana...
متن کاملMountain pine beetle selectivity in old-growth ponderosa pine forests, Montana, USA
A historically unprecedented mountain pine beetle (MPB) outbreak affected western Montana during the past decade. We examined radial growth rates (AD 1860-2007/8) of co-occurring mature healthy and MPB-infected ponderosa pine trees collected at two sites (Cabin Gulch and Kitchen Gulch) in western Montana and: (1) compared basal area increment (BAI) values within populations and between sites; (...
متن کاملLongleaf Pine Forests and Woodlands: Old Growth under Fire!
“Old growth forest” evokes certain images and often strong feelings for many of us. To some degree, our images and definitions of old growth converge. Descriptions often include approximations of the following: stable for decades or centuries; a deep and many-layered canopy; massive and long-lived trees in the canopy; large dead logs in various degrees of decay; indicator species adapted to sta...
