Q

Armillaria

A

Pines, weaken trees, more susceptible from bugs, drought, etc. Base of tree has rot and white under bark. Decomposes in soil until in finds a host (Saprophyte). Root rot, keep trees vigorous. Mycelial fan (white tendrils) and Rhizomorphs black strings

Q

Mychorrhizae

A

Fungi are symbiotic with plant roots. Feeds off of energy from plant and creates more root surface area to help with absorption of water and nutrients.

Q

American Chestnut

A

Largest DBH, 25% of all stems before FHP. Nuts for livestock, rot resistant. Chestnut blight from Asia, spread 24 miles a year. Red/orange canker spread by wind, bird, rain, insects. Rarely large trees mostly sprouts. Cross bread with Asian chestnut. Hypovirulent fungus to heal and take up space of blight

Q

Swamping out

A

Loss of trees in wetland. Cannot replant due to elevated water table. Water table stays low due to trees using water and evaporating from stomata.

Q

Wildlife adapted to successional forests

A

Moose, grouse, deer, golden-winged warbler

19
Q

Climate vs Weather

A

Climate is what you expect weather is what you get each day.

20
Q

A vs B Scenarios

A

A - Policy and behavior don’t change
B- Emissions drop off, big changes to reduce it.

21
Q

Resistance

A

Stands stay the same

22
Q

Resilience

A

Make more adaptable

23
Q

Southern Yellow Pine

A

Virginia, Slash, longleaf, shortleaf, loblolly. More plantations less natural regen. Fire, soil. Prune and fertilize

24
Q

Site Quality

A

Soil type, moisture, measure with NPC (Native Plant Community) or Habitat Typing

25
Q

Suitability chart

A

Which spp do the best in certain NPC

26
Q

Site index

A

Judge site by how well spp are doing. How tall can a spp grow on this site in 50 yrs. Measure height and take core sample, NOT DBH

27
Q

Offsite

A

Spp not on suitable sites, not good production, vulnerable to insect/disease

28
Q

Rainshadow effect

A

Storm systems/moisture/clouds move up in elevation and clouds cool and drop precipitation. More rain on windward (west), clouds are dry on leeward (east), no moisture/precip for east side

29
Q

Foothills

A

Juniper woodlands (PJ)

30
Q

Alpine zones

A

Shrub, grasses, or nothing very few trees

31
Q

Subalpine

A

Spruce, fir with tight form from wind and snow

32
Q

Upper Montane zone

A

mixed conifer forest

33
Q

Lower Montane

A

Ponderosa Pine forests

34
Q

Plain zones/Semidesert shrubland

A

Valley shrublands and grasslands

35
Q

Dry-Mesic montane mixed conifers

A

Mid elevation, limited moisture. Ponderosa, Doug Fir, western larch

36
Q

Moist Montane mixed conifer

A

Mid elevation, more moisture, linear trees. subalpine fir, grand
fir, Englemann spruce

37
Q

Rocky mountain montane riparian

A

Water course at high elevation, flood is main disturbance. More moisture in soil

38
Q

Mountain Pine Beetle

A

Large areas of dead pine. Under 1/2 inch in size, tunnel in xylem, phloem, and cambium. Some spp also carry blue stain fungus (rot/damage)
Use pheromones’ to communicate for mass attack/aggregation, mating and anti aggregation. Trees use pitch to push beetles out. Can have different types of beetle on the same tree on different parts.

39
Q

Southwest US

A

Limited precipitation, extreme storms (Flash floods), Short times of abundant rain. Vegetation is spaced out with large root systems.
Plant defense against insects, grazing with spines or chemicals.
Plant water conservation with small leather leaves, only have leaves and flowers when it rains, otherwise dormant.

40
Q

Pinyon-Juniper woodlands

A

PJ, junipers and pinyon pines. 2 or 3 fascicle, compact, more shruby with pine nuts. Follows Mnt ranges

41
Q

Great Basin

A

Mainly Nevada and Utah, also CA, NM, AZ. Shrubland, very dry with sage brush

42
Q

Southwest riparian Ecosystem

A

Bosque - Cottonwood forests. Near river /water
Jetty jacks - d-day bank stabilizations. Worked too well
Tamarix/Salt cedar - non native riparian, purple flower, displaces native. Massive root system, sucks up too much water, poor wildlife habitat (too dense) Burns easily.

43
Q

Legumes

A

Fixes nitrogen from atmosphere into soil and improves soil over times
