Science Program
Conduct Applied Scientific Research
Evaluates adaptive genetic diversity of forest resources in the Lake Tahoe Basin and identifies patterns of
adaptive variation at the landscape-level in order to allow for the detection of the sensitivity, resiliency, and potential vulnerability of populations of white pines to an introduced and invasive pathogen and constitute a valuable tool to design conservation, restoration, and forest health monitoring strategies for these forest tree species. This project
takes an ecological and genetic approach to better understand the interaction of landscape
characteristics and evolutionary processes on ecologically important plant traits.
