Tree Health within the Lake Tahoe Basin: Interactions with Fuel Management Systems

This project will quantify the incidence and severity of tree diseases, pathogens, and other biotic and abiotic damaging agents on the Nevada State Park and US Forest Service Lands within the Nevada portion of the Lake Tahoe basin. Project will assist land managers in evaluating the efficacy of fuel reduction treatments, and determine how tree health varies with tree density, tree diameter, and soil type.
