Annual Variation in Starting Date of Spring Feeding by the European Pine Shoot Moth in a Michigan Planting [PDF]
New tents spun in five successive springs by the European pine shoot moth (Rhyacionia buoliana [Schiff.] ) in a Michigan planting of red pine (Pinus resinosa Ait.) occurred about 2 days later each year.

Grasshoppers Feeding on Red Pine Trees in Michigan (Orthoptera: Acrididae) [PDF]
Very few North American grasshoppers are true feeders on conifers. The several species of the punctulatus species-group of the genus Melanoplus, as summarized and revised by Rehn (1946), have been reported as occurring on pine, juniper, and cedar, but ...

Uncertainty of Forest Biomass Estimates in North Temperate Forests Due to Allometry: Implications for Remote Sensing [PDF]
Estimates of above ground biomass density in forests are crucial for refining global climate models and understanding climate change. Although data from field studies can be aggregated to estimate carbon stocks on global scales, the sparsity of such ...

Microsatellite analysis reveals genetically distinct populations of red pine (Pinus resinosa, Pinaceae) [PDF]
Red pine (Pinus resinosa Ait.) is an ecologically and economically important forest tree species of northeastern North America and is considered one of the most genetically depauperate conifer species in the region. We have isolated and characterized 13 nuclear microsatellite loci by screening a partial genomic library with di‐, tri‐, and ...

Radial variations in xylem sap flux in a temperate red pine plantation forest
Background Scaling sap flux measurements to whole-tree water use or stand-level transpiration is often done using measurements conducted at a single point in the sapwood of the tree and has the potential to cause significant errors. Previous studies have
