	Pinus contorta var. latifolia: FIRE ECOLOGY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Rocky Mountain lodgepole pine has short needles and does not produce a highly combustible litter layer [34,38], and changes in fuel loading over time are affected by decomposition of material killed but not consumed by the previous fire, the fall and decay of snags, stand development, and the effects of insects and diseases [118,275,301].
		Lodgepole pine dwarf-mistletoe reduces tree vigor and may increase mortality, while the type of fire affects the potential for lodgepole pine dwarf-mistletoe infection [79,80,215].
		Rocky Mountain lodgepole pine in a mixed-severity fire regime generally experiences fire every 25 to 75 years, while fires at longer intervals (100 to 300 years) and patchy burn pattern are typical of Rocky Mountain lodgepole pine in a stand-replacement fire regime [34,35,38].

	pine genus description (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In general, pines are easy to distinguish from other needle-leaved trees because of their long, narrow needles bound in bundles; large, woody cones with tough scales; and distinctive "whorls" of branches that make their trunks easy to climb.
		In general, pine trees like a lot of light, so pine forests are open and sunlight spills through to the forest floor.
		Four pines (lodgepole, sugar, ponderosa, and western white) were named by Scottish botanist David Douglas.

		Some of the areas of the Lodgepole Pine Forest plant community have almost no understory (where the trees were very dense), and when they were clear cut, there isn't much there years later.
		The Lodgepole Pine Forest plant community has been clearcut in many areas, leaving a few trees here and there, and allowing other species of trees like Jeffrey Pine (Pinus jeffreyi), Western White Pine (Pinus monticola), Firs (Abies spp.) and sometimes Mountain Hemlock (Tsuga mertensiana), to gain a foot hold.
		Areas where Lodgepole Pines have been left alone are dense, hard- to- walk- through forest thickets of trees about the same size and age.

	Trees of Yosemite (1932, 1948), “Lodgepole Pine,” by Mary Curry Tresidder
		The Lodgepole Pine is very commonly called the Tamarack on the Pacific Coast; the true Tamarack of the East is a larch, however, not a pine.
		It is often a most untidy tree; the dead branches clasping the lower portion of the trunk, the bark stripped and hanging, and the lower limbs drooping mournfully toward the ground combine to give it a most desolate appearance.
		Tall and well proportioned, the bark a glowing yellow-brown instead of the customary depressing, lifeless gray, they greet the morning sun, as it surmounts those sharp peaks of the Lyell group, with a freshness of color against the blue Sierra sky that is truly delightful.

		The objective of the study was to evaluate whether pine populations at the range edge appear to be expanding in association with fire disturbance.
		In three of the burns, we sampled all accessible pine stands; in burns where pine was more widespread, we selected stands to represent the range of observed pine regeneration densities.
		The age of the pre-fire stand was determined from annual ring counts of 5-10 basal disks or tree cores (30 cm above the uppermost roots) obtained from a mixture of dead pine and spruce trees systematically sampled to represent the largest, and hence oldest, trees in the stand.
