Spatial autocorrelation analysis of the distribution of genotypes within populations of lodgepole pine.
Spatial autocorrelation analyses of point samples within two populations of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta ssp. latifolia) indicate that single-locus mature tree and pollen genotypes are distributed in a nearly random fashion for most of the allozyme loci assayed. This lack of structure in the distributions of most genotypes is consistent with outcrossing rates that are very nearly 1.0 and with...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal patterns of mountain pine beetle activity in the southern Rocky Mountains.
The current mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderosae) outbreak in the southern Rocky Mountains has impacted approximately 750 000 ha of forest. Weather and habitat heterogeneity influence forest insect population dynamics at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Comparison of forest insect population dynamics in two principal host species may elucidate the relative contribution of wea...
متن کاملLatent resilience in ponderosa pine forest: effects of resumed frequent fire.
Ecological systems often exhibit resilient states that are maintained through negative feedbacks. In ponderosa pine forests, fire historically represented the negative feedback mechanism that maintained ecosystem resilience; fire exclusion reduced that resilience, predisposing the transition to an alternative ecosystem state upon reintroduction of fire. We evaluated the effects of reintroduced ...
متن کاملRoot deformation reduces tolerance of lodgepole pine to attack by Warren root collar weevil.
Surveys were conducted on regenerating stands of lodgepole pine to determine the relationship between root deformation and susceptibility to attack by the Warren root collar weevil, Hylobius warreni Wood. The total number of trees attacked by H. warreni did not differ between planted and natural trees. A matched case-control logistic regression suggested that root cross-sectional area was more ...
متن کاملForest structure and regeneration following a mountain pine beetle epidemic in southeastern Wyoming
Rocky Mountain forests are currently experiencing a bark beetle epidemic of unprecedented severity and extent. Forest regeneration following bark beetle outbreaks is driven by the survival and density of understory trees (advance regeneration). The composition and density of the advance regeneration may differ substantially from the pre-outbreak overstory and across environmental gradients. We ...
