چکیده
Authors: GEORGE P. MARKIN is a research entomologist working with the Station's unit that is studying the biology of insects adversely affecting regeneration and establishment of western forests. He holds three degrees in entomology-a B. the time of this study, was a biological technician with the Station's field evaluation of chemical insecticides research unit at Davis, Calif. He earned a B. Ranger District, without whose help and support this test would not have been possible.

Drought-triggered western spruce budworm outbreaks in the interior Pacific Northwest: A multi-century dendrochronological record
Douglas-fir forests in the interior Pacific Northwest are subject to sporadic outbreaks of the western spruce budworm, a species widely recognized as the most destructive defoliator in western North Amer-ica. Outbreaks of the western spruce budworm often occur synchronously over broad regions and lead to widespread loss of leaf area and decrease in growth rates in affected stands. In spite of t...
متن کاملMulti-century regional western spruce budworm outbreak patterns.
D endrochronology's rich tradition has foundations rooted in the works of da Vinci and MalpighF. Although the main stem of principles was developed by A.E. Douglass (see Ref. 1), one branch of dendrochronology actually pre-dates his work. The association between narrow tree rings and damage by insects, hail and frost was recognized by Hartig in Europe at the end of the last century!. The impact...
متن کاملMechanisms of Douglas-fir resistance to western spruce budworm defoliation: bud burst phenology, photosynthetic compensation and growth rate.
We compared growth rates among mature interior Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca (Beissn.) Franco) trees showing resistance or susceptibility to defoliation caused by western spruce budworm (Choristoneura occidentalis Freeman), and among clones and half-sib seedling progeny of these trees in a greenhouse. We also investigated bud burst phenology and photosynthetic responses of clon...
متن کاملWestern Spruce Budworm Outbreak History
Western spruce budworm (Choristoneura occidentalis Freeman) outbreak history was reconstructed for the Sacramento Mountains of south -central New Mexico, at the southern limit of the species distribution range. Six host tree -ring width chronologies (Douglas -fir and white fir) and three non -host control chronologies (ponderosa pine) were used for this reconstruction spanning from 1800 to 1990...
