Beskrivelse
In 2009, the authors initiated a small pilot survey of six limber pine stands in CRMO following the Interagency Whitebark Pine Monitoring Protocol for the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (Greater Yellowstone Whitebark Pine Monitoring Working Group hereafter referred to as GYWPMWG] 2007). No blister rust was found during that survey, although mountain pine beetle galleries were found in several trees, and dwarf mistletoe was ubiquitous. In 2010 the authors tested a draft version of the protocol currently being used by the Upper Columbia Basin Network (UCBN), as well as the Klamath Network (KLMN) and Sierra Nevada Network (SIEN; McKinney et al. 2012). In 2011 the authors implemented the first full panel of 30 plots, plus two oversamples, following approval of the McKinney et al. (2012) protocol. Results from 2011 are reported in Stucki and Rodhouse (2012). This report presents the results for the second full panel of 30 plots established and surveyed in August 2012. Note that panel 2 includes the two oversample plots that were established in 2011. This is the second formal year of protocol implementation, and the permanent plots established in 2012 represent the second of 3 panels of plots that will be monitored into the future.
