Completed
Duration
2007 - 2010
Science Program
Conduct Applied Scientific Research
Establish a network of ecological monitoring plots in lower montane mixed conifer forests (focal species-sugar pine), upper montane forests (focal species western white pine), and subalpine woodlands (focal species-whitebark pine) in the LTBMU to identify population structure and evaluate stressors associated with each of the 3 focal species, identify population genetic structure and diversity, and WPBR-resistance frequency, for populations of each focal species, develop demographic models to determine population dynamics, and develop and test the efficacy of conservation and restoration strategies.
