	Pine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pines are mostly monoecious, having the male and female cones on the same tree, though a few species are sub-dioecious with individuals predominantly, but not wholly, single-sex.
		Pines are commercially among the most important of species used for timber in temperate and tropical regions of the world.
		Pine plantations can be at risk of fire damage because pine resin is flammable to the point of a tree being explosive under some conditions.

	Bishop Pine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bishop Pine (Pinus muricata) is a pine with a very restricted range: mostly California, USA, including some offshore islands, and a few locations in Baja California, Mexico, and always on or near the coast, from Trinidad Head in Humboldt County, California south to San Vicente in Baja California.
		The common name Bishop Pine resulted from the tree having been first identified near the Mission of San Luis Obispo.
		The performance of this tree in plantations with better soil than it usually grows on in the wild is good, and shows high growth rates.

		Bishop pine is a serotinus-coned species; this means that the cones generally do not open until heated by fire.
		Typically the pine forest was restricted to the thin-soiled ridge tops and the scrub was on the more gentle slopes with deeper soils.
		Bishop pine is a highly disease-prone tree and as a result is short-lived.

		Bishop Pine occurs in relict stands along the California coast from Humbolt to Santa Barbara counties, and includes some isolated populations as far south as Baja California.
		The occurence of Bishop Pine is greatly effected by the soil, slope and climate.
		In sharp contrast to the full growth forests, Bishop Pine that grow on small granitic 'hogbacks' may be dwarf and bonsai-like in size and shape due to the thin, low nutrient soil (Evens, 1993).

	A Landscape Renewed by Fire
		Bishop pines have a normal life span of 60 to 80 years, so any given forest prospers with one major fire on a regular basis within that time frame.
		By helping the bishop pine seedlings grow and survive, these early-successional fungi prepare the eventual fuel for future forest fires that will lead to their next generation.
		Dense stands of bishop pine will slowly thin out as the stronger trees survive and the weaker die off; scientists estimate that only three of 100 trees in an even-aged stand like this will survive to maturity.

	Pt. Reyes Fire
		On the west side it swept through the Bishop Pine forest along the ridge and down through coastal scrub to the sea, roaring over grasslands and dune habit and even scorching the park's riparian corridors.
		Bishop Pines live about 70 or 80 years, and if fire is suppressed through its life cycle, a whole grove can die out without ever reseeding.
		Bishop pines grow best in the coastal fog belt, and most of the Point Reyes' Bishops were along the ridge where the fire started.

	The Relationship of Bishop Pine Cone Morpholgy to Serotiny On Santa Cruz Island, California. Steven M. Ostoja, ...
		The goal of this study was to identify the response of Bishop pine cones to varying temperatures, determine whether this pattern was characteristic of the different stands, and relate morphological characteristics of the cones to the patterns we observed in the scales opening.
		Bishop pines are not uniformly distributed in the stand, but are scattered in relatively discrete patches.

		Bishop pine (Pinus muricata) occurs in discontinuous relict stands along the California coast from Humbolt to Santa Barbara Counties, and includes some isolated populations as far south as Baja California (Bakker 1972; Barbour and Major 1977; Kozloff and Biedlman 1994; and Johnston 1994).

	Pitch canker kills pines,
		The third native Monterey pine stand on the mainland, at Cambria, was not visited in 1992, and observations in 1993 and 1994 suggested that trees in that area were free of the disease.
		A Monterey pine was found infected with pitch canker at Ukiah, Mendocino County, at the junction of Talmage Road and U.S. Highway 101, in November of 1992.
		Native stands of Bishop pine are currently infected, and native shore pine stands to the north of San Francisco appear to be at risk.

		In Monterey pine Christmas trees, resinous cankers are produced at the root crown; the entire tree subsequently wilts and dies.
		Native Monterey pine and Bishop pine stands are now at risk, as are landscape plantings of these and numerous other conifers.
		The restricted native ranges of Monterey pine, Torrey pine, and Bishop pine heightens concern for the effect of pitch canker on these populations.

	Bishop pine forest recovering after 1995 fire; mountain beavers scarce
		• The Bishop pine forest is reestablishing itself successfully, largely because several species of subterranean fungi which the trees rely on for proper growth increased dramatically after the fire, reported Thomas Bruns, a professor in Plant and Microbial Biology at UC Berkeley.
		Bishop pines require the presence of various fungi which interact with the trees’; root systems, Bruns explained.
		Studies found a growing diversity of plant species in the Bishop Pine area as time elapsed, with a significant increase in huckleberry (Vaccinium ovatum).

	The Monterey Pine through geologic time
		The Monterey Pine, along with the Bishop and Knobcone Pines, belong to an informal taxonomic category known as the "California closed-cone pines." In most species of pine, a set of cones matures annually, opening and dropping their seeds in the fall.
		With the closed-cone pines, however, many of the cones remain sealed with resin and attached to the branches.
		According to Millar, the Monterey Pine "was least abundant during full interglacials (i.e., the Holocene and previous interglacials), when oaks dominated coastal habitats, and was also uncommon during the cold periods of the glacials, when junipers dominated.

		All of the "civilized" towns -- Bishop, Big Pine, Independence and Lone Pine -- were on Owens Valley's west side, nearer the foot of the Sierra, while the railroads favored the wild and desolate country on the east side of the relatively narrow valley, where the majority of mines were located.
