  • Spruce Beetle
    QUICK GUIDE SERIES FM 2014-1 Spruce Beetle An Agent of Subalpine Change The spruce beetle is a native species in Colorado’s spruce forest ecosystem. Endemic populations are always present, and epidemics are a natural part of the changing forest. There usually are long intervals between such events as insect and disease epidemics and wildfires, giving spruce forests time to regenerate. Prior to their occurrence, the potential impacts of these natural disturbances can be reduced through proactive forest management. The spruce beetle (Dendroctonus rufipennis) is responsible for the death of more spruce trees in North America than any other natural agent. Spruce beetle populations range from Alaska and Newfoundland to as far south as Arizona and New Mexico. The subalpine Engelmann spruce is the primary host tree, but the beetles will infest any Figure 1. Engelmann spruce trees infested spruce tree species within their geographical range, including blue spruce. In with spruce beetles on Spring Creek Pass. Colorado, the beetles are most commonly observed in high-elevation spruce Photo: William M. Ciesla forests above 9,000 feet. At endemic or low population levels, spruce beetles generally infest only downed trees. However, as spruce beetle population levels in downed trees increase, usually following an avalanche or windthrow event – a high-wind event that topples trees over a large area – the beetles also will infest live standing trees. Spruce beetles prefer large (16 inches in diameter or greater), mature and over- mature spruce trees in slow-growing, spruce-dominated stands. However, at epidemic levels, or when large-scale, rapid population increases occur, spruce beetles may attack trees as small as 3 inches in diameter.

  • Susceptibility of Larch, Hemlock, Sitka Spruce, and Douglas-Fir to Phytophthora Ramorum1
    Proceedings of the Sudden Oak Death Fifth Science Symposium Susceptibility of Larch, Hemlock, Sitka Spruce, and 1 Douglas-fir to Phytophthora ramorum Gary Chastagner,2 Kathy Riley,2 and Marianne Elliott2 Introduction The recent determination that Phytophthora ramorum is causing bleeding stem cankers on Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi (Lam.) Carrière) in the United Kingdom (Forestry Commission 2012, Webber et al. 2010), and that inoculum from this host appears to have resulted in disease and canker development on other conifers, including western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.), Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), grand fir (Abies grandis (Douglas ex D. Don) Lindl.), and Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carrière), potentially has profound implications for the timber industry and forests in the United States Pacific Northwest (PNW). A clearer understanding of the susceptibility of these conifers to P. ramorum is needed to assess the risk of this occurring in the PNW. Methods An experiment was conducted to examine the susceptibility of new growth on European (L. decidua Mill.), Japanese, eastern (L. laricina (Du Roi) K. Koch), and western larch (L. occidentalis Nutt.); western and eastern hemlock (T. canadensis (L.) Carrière); Sitka spruce; and a coastal seed source of Douglas-fir to three genotypes (NA1, NA2, and EU1) of P. ramorum in 2011. In 2012, a similar experiment was conducted using only the four larch species. Container-grown seedlings or saplings were used in all experiments. Five trees or branches of each species were inoculated with a single isolate of the three genotypes by spraying the foliage with a suspension of zoospores (105/ml).

However, OSB will never possess the smooth- ness of surface found in fibreboards and particleboards: rather its merits lie in the field of mechanical perfor- mance which is directly related to the use of longer and larger strands of wood. OSB varies in colour from a light straw colour to a medium brown depending on species used, resin system adopted and pressing conditions employed.

  • Aircraft Wood Information
    TL 1.14 Issue 2 1 Jan 2008 AIRCRAFT WOOD INFORMATION Wood is used throughout the world for a wide variety of purposes. It is stronger for its weight than any other material excepting certain alloy steels. Timber is readily worked by hand, using simple tools and is, therefore, far cheaper to use than metal. To appreciate the use of timber in aircraft construction, it is necessary to learn something about the growth and structure of wood. There are two types" of tree—the conifer or evergreen, and the deciduous. A coniferous tree is distinguished by its needle-like leaves. Its seeds are formed in the familiar cone-shaped pod. From a conifer, 'softwood' is obtained. A deciduous tree has broad, flat leaves which it sheds in the autumn. Its seeds are enclosed in ordinary cases as for example, the oak, birch and walnut. Timber from deciduous trees is said to be 'hardwood'. It can be seen, therefore, that the term 'softwood' and 'hardwood' apply to the family or type of tree and do not necessarily indicate the density of the wood. That is why balsa, the lightest and most fragile of woods, is classed as a hardwood. Both hardwood and softwood trees are said to be 'exogenous'. An exogenous tree is one whose growth progresses outwards from the core or heart by the development of additional 'rings' or layers of wood. Certain trees are exceptions to this rule, such as bamboo and palm. This wood is unsuitable for aircraft construction. Exogenous trees grow for only part of the year.

  • External Timber Quality of Birch in Birch-Spruce Mixtures

Its disadvantages to biodiversity, recreation and climate change susceptibility incentivize alternative ways of forest production. Mixtures with a secondary species is one such alternative. Birch and spruce, two species native to Sweden, are well-known to function together. Mixtures of the two exist today already, although the species are usually treated with different goals in mind. Further encouragement of forest owners is necessary for the practice to become more widespread. This thesis attempts to reflect upon whether naturally regenerated birch in birch-spruce mixtures have a high enough timber quality to make the birch valuable from an economic perspective. The aim of the study was therefore to assess external timber quality of naturally regenerated birch in birch-spruce mixtures in southern Sweden. The hypotheses to be addressed was a) that naturally regenerated birch trees in Norway spruce plantations fulfill the requirements for high quality saw timber and b) that the quality of the future crop trees of birch is lower when the surrounding competition is of Norway spruce instead of other birches.

  • Mineralogy of the Peraluminous Spruce Pine Plutonic Suite
    MINERALOGY OF THE PERALUMINOUS SPRUCE PINE PLUTONIC SUITE, MITCHELL, AVERY, AND YANCEY COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA by William Brian Veal (Under the Direction of Samuel E. Swanson) ABSTRACT The Spruce Pine plutonic suite consists of numerous Devonian (390-410 ma) peraluminous granitic plutons, dikes, sills, and associated pegmatites. The mineralogy of pegmatites and host granodiorites from seven locations was studied to determine the extent of fractionation of the pegmatites relative to the granodiorite. Garnets in the plutons are almandine- spessartine and some display epitaxial overgrowths of grossular garnet. Similar garnets are found in the pegmatites. Pegmatitic muscovite contains several percent iron and is compositionally similar to muscovite from the host granodiorite. Feldspars in the granodiorites and pegmatites are compositionally similar (plagioclase Ab69-98; k-feldspar Or95-98). The lack of compositional variation between minerals in pegmatites and host granodiorites indicates the pegmatites were not the result of extreme fractionation and indicates that pegmatite mineralogy can be used to characterize the mineralogy of an entire granodiorite body.

  • Sitka Spruce, the Largest of the World’S Spruces, Is One of the Most Prominent Forest Trees Along the Northwest Coast C North America
    Forest An American Wood Service Sitka United States Department of Spruce Agriculture FS-265 Sitka spruce, the largest of the world’s spruces, is one of the most prominent forest trees along the northwest coast c North America. It is seldom found far from tidewater, where moist maritime air and summer fog help maintain the humid conditions necessary for its growth. Throughout most of its range from northern California to Alaska, Sitka spruce is associated with western hemlock in dense stands where growth rates are among the highest in North America. It is a valuable commercial timber species for lumber, pulp, and many special uses. F-253874 An American Wood Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr.) A. S. Harris1 Distribution Sitka spruce grows in a narrow strip along the north Pacific coast from latitude 61 ° N. in south-central Alaska to 39° N. in northern California (fig. 1). It is restricted to an area of maritime climate with abundant moisture throughout the year, relatively mild winters, and cool summers. Sum- mer temperatures are lower in the nor- thern latitudes and lack the extremes found in the southern part of the range. The most extensive portion of the range in both width and elevation is in southeast Alaska and northern British Columbia, where it extends for about 130 miles east to west and includes a narrow mainland strip, the many islands of the Alexander Archipelago in Alaska, and the Queen Charlotte Islands in British Columbia. North and west of southeast Alaska, along the Gulf of Alaska to Prince William Sound, the species is restricted by steep mountains and glaciers edging the sea.
