High-elevation white pine cone collections from the Great Basin Province of California, Nevada, and Utah, made between 2009 and 2013. Collection sites are designated by purple diamonds (not including the Placerville and Yosemite sites, which are for reference only). Cone collections were funded by the USDA, Forest Service-Washington Office, Forest Health Management, and coordinated by the PSW Research Station, Institute of Forest Genetics, Placerville, CA, in collaboration with Nevada, California, and Utah National Forests, Great Basin National Park, the Bureau of Land Management, and Nevada and California State Parks. Seed extraction, processing, and packaging were performed at the Institute of Forest Genetics, for accession to the USDA, ARS, National Center for Genetic Resources Preservation, Ft.

    United States Department of Agriculture Wilderness Visitors and Forest Service Recreation Impacts: Baseline Rocky Mountain Research Station Data Available for Twentieth General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-117 Century Conditions September 2003 David N. Cole Vita Wright Abstract __________________________________________ Cole, David N.; Wright, Vita. 2003. Wilderness visitors and recreation impacts: baseline data available for twentieth century conditions. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-117. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 52 p. This report provides an assessment and compilation of recreation-related monitoring data sources across the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS). Telephone interviews with managers of all units of the NWPS and a literature search were conducted to locate studies that provide campsite impact data, trail impact data, and information about visitor characteristics. Of the 628 wildernesses that comprised the NWPS in January 2000, 51 percent had baseline campsite data, 9 percent had trail condition data and 24 percent had data on visitor characteristics. Wildernesses managed by the Forest Service and National Park Service were much more likely to have data than wildernesses managed by the Bureau of Land Management and Fish and Wildlife Service. Both unpublished data collected by the management agencies and data published in reports are included. Extensive appendices provide detailed information about available data for every study that we located. These have been organized by wilderness so that it is easy to locate all the information available for each wilderness in the NWPS. Keywords: campsite condition, monitoring, National Wilderness Preservation System, trail condition, visitor characteristics The Authors _______________________________________ David N.

Each group has its own set of keys to genera and species, as well as plant descriptions. Plant descriptions are or- ganized alphabetically by genus and then by species. In a few cases, we have included separate subspecies or varieties. Gen- era in which we include more than one species have short generic descriptions and species keys. Detailed species descrip- tions follow the generic descriptions. A species description in- cludes growth habit, distinctive characteristics, habitat, range (including a map), and remarks. Most species descriptions have an illustration showing leaves and either cones, flowers, or fruits. Illustrations were drawn from fresh specimens with the intent of showing diagnostic characteristics. Plant rarity is based on rankings derived from the California Native Plant Society and federal and state lists (Skinner and Pavlik 1994). Two lists are presented in the appendixes. The first is a list of species grouped by distinctive morphological features. The second is a checklist of trees and shrubs indexed alphabetically by family, genus, species, and common name.

It occurs from the Front Range of Colorado through Utah, northern New Mexico and Arizona to the White Mountains of California along the Nevada border in the west. Bristlecone pine commonly occurs in small open groves on arid slopes, but it also grows in association with limber and ponderosa pines, white fir, Douglas - fir, and Engelmann spruce, generally above the 8000 -foot level. This tree has little economic value as a timber species, but does provide a protective and beautifying cover to the landscape. A newly -acquired interst in bristlecone pine stems from the discovery that these trees reach tremendous ages.

  • Species Interactions and Abiotic Effects on Stand Structure of Bristlecone Pine (Pinus Longaeva) and Limber Pine (Pinus Flexilis)
    Species interactions and abiotic effects on stand structure of bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) and limber pine (Pinus flexilis) Selene Arellano1, Anna Douglas2, Neira Ibrahimovic3 , Janette Jin1 1University of California, Berkeley; 2University of California, Santa Cruz; 3University of California, Los Angeles ABSTRACT Plants experience a wide range of biotic and abiotic stresses based on their environmental conditions. Demographic stages—recruits, saplings, and adults—may react differently under stress. In this study, we examine how the factors of aspect, substrate, and competition affect the stand structure of Great Basin bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) and limber pine (Pinus flexilis), which are among the few trees that can withstand the stressful subalpine environment. We surveyed an even distribution of north and south- facing slopes with both dolomite and granite substrate in the White Mountains of Inyo National Forest, California. We recorded the density of different demographic stages of both tree species and tested how neighboring trees affected the cone production of bristlecones. We found that the effect of aspect and substrate depended on the demographic stage. We also found no evidence of competition between bristlecone and limber. Taken together, our results suggest that abiotic factors are more important than biotic factors in determining bristlecone and limber establishment. Overall, we suggest that abiotic factors are more influential in shaping subalpine plant communities. Keywords: bristlecone pine, limber pine, competition, abiotic stress, stand structure INTRODUCTION and have low levels of phosphorus, which is an essential element for plant development Plants may experience extreme stress (Wright and Mooney 1965, Malhotra et al. when they are growing in environments with 2018).

Florida k Florida has the smallest number of earthquakes in the United States. k Florida is the U.S. location where hurricanes are most frequent. k Of the six deadliest hurricanes to hit the continental U.S., three have hit Florida. k Between 1900 and 1995, Florida experienced both the most major (24) and the most overall (57) hurricanes of any state in the United States. k About half the hurricanes to strike southern Florida are major ones. k No point in Florida is more than 100 miles from the coast; therefore, all areas are at risk of hurricane damage. k From July 1995 through June 1996, Florida experienced 35 tornadoes, 32 floods, and three hurricanes. k In February 1998, devastating tornadoes swept through central Florida, killing at least 43 people and destroying many homes and other buildings. k In 2004, four hurricanes and one tropical storm hit Florida. This was the first time Florida encountered four hurricanes in one season since 1851. The pre-Hurricane Charley aerial photo on the left was taken several days following the passage of 2001’s Tropi- cal Storm Gabrielle.
