Mistletoes of North American Conifers. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS–GTR–98. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 123 p. Mistletoes of the families Loranthaceae and Viscaceae are the most important vascular plant parasites of conifers in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Species of the genera Psittacanthus, Phoradendron, and Arceuthobium cause the greatest economic and ecological impacts. These shrubby, aerial parasites produce either showy or cryptic flowers; they are dispersed by birds or explosive fruits. Mistletoes are obligate parasites, dependent on their host for water, nutrients, and some or most of their carbohydrates. Pathogenic effects on the host include deformation of the infected stem, growth loss, increased susceptibility to other disease agents or insects, and reduced longevity. The presence of mistletoe plants, and the brooms and tree mortality caused by them, have significant ecological and economic effects in heavily infested forest stands and recreation areas. These effects may be either beneficial or detrimental depending on management objectives. Assessment concepts and procedures are available. Biological, chemical, and cultural control methods exist and are being developed to better manage mistletoe populations for resource protection and production. Keywords: leafy mistletoe, true mistletoe, dwarf mistletoe, forest pathology, life history, silviculture, forest management Technical Coordinators_______________________________ Brian W.

  • Assessment of the Dendroclimatic Potential of Pinus Lumholtzii B. L. Rob. & Fernald
    Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Forestales Vol. 8 (42) Article Assessment of the dendroclimatic potential of Pinus lumholtzii B. L. Rob. & Fernald Martha González Elizondo1* María del Socorro González Elizondo1 José Villanueva Díaz2 Julián Cerano Paredes2 1 CIIDIR-Durango, Instituto Politécnico Nacional. México. 2 CENID RASPA, INIFAP. México. *Autor por correspondencia, email: [email protected] Abstract: Pinus lumholtzii is widely distributed in the Western Sierra Madre. It grows mainly in rocky outcrop sites; therefore, its annual growth rings may be sensitive to climatic variables. Ring-width chronologies of Pinus lumholtzii from sites in southern Durango were developed in order to analyze its dendroclimatic potential. For this analysis, dendroclimatic parameters and response to climatic factors were compared with a chronology of Pseudotsuga menziesii previously developed for the same region with proven dendrochronological potential. Our results indicate that P. Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Forestales Vol. 8 (42) lumholtzii dendroclimatic chronologies have a good potential. They presented suitable cross-dating, although their sensitivity to environmental factors was lower than that observed in P. menziesii chronologies. In addition, the four chronologies showed significant correlations between one another and also compared to the chronologies of P. menziesii, which indicates a good response to the regional environmental variables. Furthermore, the correlation between growth rates of P. lumholtzii and the regional precipitation was statistically significant and even higher than that obtained for P. menziesii. The rainfall reconstruction using ring-width series of Pinus lumholtzii was significantly correlated with that developed for P. menziesii series. The wide distribution range of P. lumholtzii in the Sierra Madre Occidental, and its proven dendroclimatic potential, enable the development of a network of chronologies that may be useful for dendroecological studies, as well as for monitoring the regional climate change.

Customs and immigration were unusually slow – they are usually very quick here – and so we were on our way to the hotel by a little after nine. We settled into the Gran Prix's comfortable rooms for a rather short night. Day 2September 21st Los Mochis, Maviri and to El Fuerte It certainly seemed pretty early when we all convened at the Gran Prix's reception for our five o'clock shuttle to the airport. Some queueing and hasty drinks later and we were boarding our flight. We were able to appreciate Popacatopetl and its smoking top as we took off and then turned round towards this great peak. Sadly the landscape soon disappeared under a thick blanket of cloud and we didn't seen land or sea again until not long before we descended into Los Mochis. Once through the cloud we were met by a watery scene, great lagoons and saltpans stretched along the coast. There had been heavy overnight rain and so everywhere seemed to have a veneer of water. Los Mochis is a tiny airport, one that you can walk from the plane into the one flight baggage carousel and watch your bags arrive by pickup. So soon we were meeting up with Eric our local guide and gastronome, and our two drivers and helpers Ivan and Beto.

The pine occurs near the southern limit of the Sierra Occidental at the intersection of the municipalities of Puerto Vallarta, Cabo Corrientes, and Talpa de Allende. Pinus oocarpa occurs within the margins of this forest to the south and P. jaliscana to the west. The more distantly related pine, P. maximinoi, also grows in the area. Pinus vallartensis is like P. jaliscana and P. oocarpa in possessing leaf resin canals in a septal condition and serotinous seed cones on slender peduncles. It is distin- guished mainly by its small seed cones and lax foliage. This discovery highlights the exceptional diversity of pines in Mexico and the state of Jalisco. Resumen Se propone y describe Pinus vallartensis Pérez de la Rosa & Gernandt como una especie nueva del oeste de Jalisco, México.

Irby1, Peter Z. Fulé1,*, Larissa L. Yocom1 y José Villanueva Díaz2 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to reconstruct the precipitation at Basaseachi National Park (BNP) in Chihuahua, Mexico.Tree-ring samples from pine species including Pinus durangensis, P. lumholtzii and P.engelmannii were collected in and near BNP and they were cross-dated with existing chronologies. Ring widths of each sample were measured and models to remove non-climatic trends from the data were applied. The relationship between precipitation from the weather station in Yécora, Sonora, and the ring width indices were modeled using a bivariate linear regression (r2 = 0,59, p<0.01).
