Production Structure of White Pine Cutting in Korea

Spatial and population genetic structure of microsatellites in white pine.

We evaluated the population genetic structure of seven microsatellite loci for old growth and second growth populations of eastern white pine (Pinus strobus). From each population, located within Hartwick Pines State Park, Grayling, Michigan, USA, 120-122 contiguous trees were sampled for genetic analysis. Within each population, genetic diversity was high and inbreeding low. When comparing the...

Histology of White Pine Blister Rust in Needles of Resistant and Susceptible Eastern White Pine

The Mexican White Pine

The Arnold Arboretum has more than 40 species of pine growing on its grounds from throughout the geographic range of the genus. The Mexican White Pine, Pinus ayacahuite, is particularly intriguing because it is the Arboretum’s southernmost representative of the genus as well as being one of the very few Mexican plants hardy here. The 24-year-old specimen, propagated from seed from the Royal Bot...

Structure and composition of streamside management zones following reproduction cutting in shortleaf pine stands

Streamside management zones (SMZs) in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas and Oklahoma are frequently established along headwater ephemeral and intermittent streams to protect water quality, provide wildlife habitat, and increase landscape diversity. To better understand the function of these riparian forest corridors, we characterized the tree density and composition, forest floor mass, and dow...
