Wood Cellular Dendroclimatology: Testing New Proxies in Great Basin Bristlecone Pine
Dendroclimatic proxies can be generated from the analysis of wood cellular structures, allowing for a more complete understanding of the physiological mechanisms that control the climatic response of tree species. Century-long (1870-2013) time series of anatomical parameters were developed for Great Basin bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva D.K. Bailey) by capturing strongly contrasted microscopic...
متن کاملMountain Pine Beetles Use Volatile Cues to Locate Host Limber Pine and Avoid Non-Host Great Basin Bristlecone Pine
The tree-killing mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) is an important disturbance agent of western North American forests and recent outbreaks have affected tens of millions of hectares of trees. Most western North American pines (Pinus spp.) are hosts and are successfully attacked by mountain pine beetles whereas a handful of pine species are not suitable hosts and are rarely...
متن کاملDefense traits in the long‐lived Great Basin bristlecone pine and resistance to the native herbivore mountain pine beetle
Mountain pine beetle (MPB, Dendroctonus ponderosae) is a significant mortality agent of Pinus, and climate-driven range expansion is occurring. Pinus defenses in recently invaded areas, including high elevations, are predicted to be lower than in areas with longer term MPB presence. MPB was recently observed in high-elevation forests of the Great Basin (GB) region, North America. Defense and su...
متن کاملDoes bristlecone pine senesce?
We evaluated hypotheses of senescence in old trees by comparing putative biomarkers of aging in Great Basin bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) ranging in age from 23 to 4713 years. To test a hypothesis that water and nutrient conduction is impaired in old trees we examined cambial products in the xylem and phloem. We found no statistically significant age-related changes in tracheid diameter, or...
متن کاملSoil Polygenesis as a Function of Quai”eiinary Climate Change, Northern Great Basin, Usa
The Quaternary environmental history of the northern Great Basin is characterized by a combination of lower temperature and higher moisture than present. Using water-balance analysis of soils sampled along a climatic gradient, we demonstrate that long-term average effective moisture was about 2-4 cm yr-1 greater than present. Although this long-term average represents most of Quarternary time, ...
