  2. Silviculture and the assessment of climate change genetic risk for southern Appalachian forest tree species

    Changing climate conditions and increasing insect and pathogen infestations will increase the likelihood that forest trees could experience population-level extirpation or species-level extinction during the next century. Gene conservation and silvicultural efforts to preserve forest tree genetic diversity present a particular challenge in species-rich regions such as...

  10. A bibliography on forest genetics and forest tree improvement

    The present boom in forest genetics makes it difficult for even the specialist to keep abreast of all the latest developments in this field. Therefore, in the fall of 1954 the Committee on Forest Tree Improvement, Society of American Foresters, asked the author to prepare a bibliography of publications issued in 1954.

  11. Report on forest tree seed crop in New England in 1957

    Forest tree seed crops were generally poor in 1957 throughout New England, according to reports by observers. Late spring frosts and below-normal precipitation were probably responsible for poor or failing crops of some species.

  14. Increased wood-fiber production: technology, economics, and ecology

    Forest tree improvement is a form of technological change, and it should be viewed as such. The economic objective of technological change is to increase productivity per dollar invested. This is accomplished through selection and breeding for increased growth rates or reduced losses to insects and disease. Programs which yield improved planting stock make forest...

  16. Emission and soil distribution of fumigants in forest tree nurseries

    Production of tree seedlings in the majority of forest nurseries in the USA has relied on soil fumigation with methyl bromide (MeBr) to control soil-borne plant pathogens, weeds, parasitic nematodes and insects. Since the announcement of the scheduled MeBr phase-out, a number of nurseries throughout the United States have participated in research programs on MeBr...

  18. Conservation of Germplasm in Forest Trees

    Forest trees meet human needs and contribute to natural ecosystems in unique and diverse ways. As a source of fuel and fiber, they are important commodities. As dominant members of many natural ecosystems, they play keystone ecological roles in plant and animal communities. As habitat for other organisms, forests are a reservoir of great natural diversity. In...

  19. Use of DNA markers in forest tree improvement research

    DNA markers are rapidly being developed for forest trees. The most important markers are restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs), polymerase chain reaction- (PCR) based markers such as random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), and fingerprinting markers. DNA markers can supplement isozyme markers for monitoring tree improvement activities such as; estimating...
