Co-Infections by Fusarium circinatum and Phytophthora spp. on Pinus radiata: Complex Phenotypic and Molecular Interactions [PDF]
Plants, 2021 This study investigated the complex phenotypic and genetic response of Monterey pine (Pinus radiata) seedlings to co-infections by F. circinatum, the causal agent of pine pitch canker disease, and the oomycetes Phytophthora xcambivora and P.

Intestinal Helminths in Wild Rodents from Native Forest and Exotic Pine Plantations (Pinus radiata) in Central Chile [PDF]
Animals, 2021 Native forests have been replaced by forestry plantations worldwide, impacting biodiversity. However, the effect of this anthropogenic land-use change on parasitism is poorly understood.

The molecular architecture distinctions between compression, opposite and normal wood of Pinus radiata [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIn gymnosperms compression wood is a specialised type of structural cell wall formed in response to biomechanical stresses. The differences in terms of gross structure, ultrastructure and chemistry are well-known.

Neural network modelling of rainfall interception in four different forest stands [PDF]
Annals of Forest Research, 2013 The objective of this study is to reveal whether it is possible to predict rainfall, through fall and stem flow in forest ecosystems with less effort, using several measurements of rainfall interception (hereafter ‘interception’) and an artificial neural

Pitch canker kills pines, spreads to new species and regions
California Agriculture, 1994 The host and geographic range of the pitch canker pathogen has greatly increased since it was first discovered in California in 1986. Most significantly, it now affects many pine species, including native stands of Monterey pine, and ...

Monterey pine forest made a remarkable recovery from pitch canker
California Agriculture, 2020 Monterey pine (Pinus radiata) is a species of limited distribution, with three native populations in California. In 1986, a disease known as pitch canker, caused by the fungus Fusarium circinatum, was identified as the cause of extensive mortality in ...

Pining away and at home: global utilisation of Pinus radiata by native and non-native insects [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2023 Pinus radiata (radiata pine or Monterey pine) is threatened in its native range in California and, at the same time, one of the most widely-planted tree species worldwide, especially in the southern hemisphere.

Agroforestry is promising for previously cleared hardwood rangelands
California Agriculture, 2001 Livestock grazing is the primary economic use of most hardwood rangelands in the coastal foothills of California. But owners of these lands may be able to increase revenues by simultaneously producing two crops, trees and sheep.

Resin midges in Monterey pine Christmas trees
California Agriculture, 1990 Pine resin midges feed on fresh resin in wounds on Christmas trees. Though some growers perceive this as a problem, insecticide treatments are unwarranted — partly because they do not provide effective control, but mostly because ...
