The implications of the results are discussed for fire management in these forest types. | Content: A report on the role of natural fire as a regulator of fuel loading. Applicable to: Fire, organic debris, and vegetation mosaic ecosystem elements. Critical Findings: The lack of fire in many areas in the Sierra Nevada has led to the accumulation of dead material, causing an unprecedented buildup of surface fuels. |

Applicable to: The water ecosystem element. Critical Findings: Akers reports that: • Westward movement of groundwater from Long Meadow to the Sherman tree area is prevented by an eastward hydraulic gradient and low fracture permeability of a granodiorite ridge separating the two areas. • A dependable groundwater supply of 50 gallons per minute (72,000 gallons per day) can be developed from the Long Meadow area. This should not affect the ground or surface water in the General Sherman tree area. |

Applicable to: Water ecosystem element. Critical Findings: “Overall, water potential decreases (becomes more negative) at any given depth as one moves upslope out of the drainage area... During consecutive years of drought, the greater moisture stress on upland sites, compared with drainages, becomes even more acute and may be an important factor in determining site suitability for giant sequoia.” |

These fungi colonize untreated needles. Numbers of species and conidiophores were significantly higher on needles treated with steam before immersion than on untreated needles; both values were also higher on cut surfaces (mesophyll) than on intact surfaces (epidermis with cuticle) of longitudinally halved needles. Addition of untreated needle powder (Sequoia, P. leucodermis) to malt extract agar depressed linear growth of pure cultures of 5 aquatic hyphomycetes [Anquillospora pseudolongissima, Clavariopsis aquatica, Lemonniera aquatica, Tetracladium marchalianum, Tricladium angulatum]. The inhibition persisted when a 0.1 .mu.m membrane filter was placed between medium and fungal cultures. On water agar, by itself unsuitable for growth, low doses of needle powder allowed growth of the same fungi. At higher doses, inhibition again became predominant. Steam distillation of needle powder yielded 3 fractions: solid residue, soluble residue and steam distillate. Steam distillate did not influence fungal growth on the 2 media, while the other 2 fractions supported growth on water agar but did not lead to a clear dosage-effect curve on malt extract agar | E | ||||||

After evaporating the solvents, extracts and extracted powder were added to nutrient medium to examine their effect on linear expansion of 5 aquatic Hyphomycetes [Anguillospora pseudolongissima, Clavariopsis aquatica, Lemonnlera aquatica, Tetracladium marchalianum and Tricladium angulatum]. All extracts depressed fungal growth, the inhibition being strongest with the 2 alcoholic extracts. The FeCl3 test indicated phenolic compounds in the alcohol and water but not in the petroleum-ether extracts. There was no correlation between the colorimetrically determined phenol content of an extract and its antifungal activity. Untreated needle powder strongly inhibited fungal growth, as did petroleum-ether or water-extracted powder. By contrast, alcohol-extracted powder did not inhibit fungal growth. The inhibitory effect of methanol extract was much more pronounced at a pH range of 4.0-4.5 than at 5.5-6.5 | E | |||||

The study was started in 1989 with remeasurement of the established permanent plots is planned to be every 10 years. This thesis reports the first 5-year results (i.e., 1994) of this long-term study Applicable to: Fire, organic debris, and vegetation mosaic ecosystem elements. Critical Findings: The following results are documented based on the five year measurements (i.e., 1994): trees in treated plots annually grew three times more in diameter than trees in corresponding control plots. Trees in the thinning-only and thinning-and-underburning plots grew an average of 0.34 inches in diameter per year compared to 0.12 inches per year in the control plots. Preliminary height growth data suggests that giant sequoia trees in the treated plots will grow an average of 1.5 feet per year as compared to 0.9 feet per year for trees in the untreated control plots. |

None of the cuttings rooted when continuously kept on medium containing the auxin NAA and vitamin D2. Peroxidase activity of all those cuttings on NAA + D2 first increased during the 7-9 first days and decreased in the days after. Rooting was obtained by transfer of the cuttings after periods longer than 7-9 days from the NAA + D2 inductive medium to a basal medium supplemented or not with rutin (expressive medium). The rooting capacity was emphasized by rutin treatment and was in correlation with the peroxidase peak reached on the NAA + D2 medium. Seedings, characterised by the highest perioxidase activity, were most performing in rooting | E | |||||

| 95 | Bojarczuk | T | 1980 | Chylarecki, H; et al. | Regionalization of tree and shrub selections for cultivation in Poland. | Arbor Kornickie | 25 | 329-376 | The selections of trees and shrubs which are most valuable and most adapted to local site conditions were described. The list contained 669 spp. and varieties of woody plants. This is connected with the need to popularize many new ornamental varieties and new varieties adapted to particularily difficult urban environments. The tree plantings in the new open muncipal districts require diversification since a greater assortment of various species and varieties is possible. In Poland, 5 climatic regions were delineated: the western zone, the transitory zone, the eastern zone, the southern sub-montane zone and the montane zone. The western climatic zone favored the introduction of many ornamental trees and shrubs known for their sensitivity to winter frosts although exotic trees such as ebony (Diospyros lotus), bamboos (Sinarundinaria nitida) or sequoias (Sequoiadendron giganteum) can be grown. The transitory zone has an intermediate climate. The eastern zone has a cold, more continental climate. The vegetative period is almost 2 mo. shorter than within the neighboring zones (Tarnow, Pszczyna). Only woody plants can grow there which are adapted to long lasting very cold and windy winters, e.g., Acer negundo, Physocarpus opulifolius and Rhus typhina. The submontane zone is defined by other climatic factors. The Subcarpathian valleys and the Silesian lowland belong to the warmest regions of Poland. This characteristic, the abundance of precipitation and the most intense solar radiation throughout Poland permit the introduction of many valuable trees and shrubs from genera Magnolia, Deutzia, Weigela, Juglans and others. The montane zone is different, covering the lower reaches of the Carpathian and Sudety Mountains. Successful cultivation of various species including some evergreen ones like those from genera Rhododendron, Pieris and Chamacecyparis is possible | E | |||||||

During the elongation phase on the medium containing AC, the growing upper part of the juvenile clone microcuttings contained less polyphenols than the lower part, while this difference was not observed in mature material. Plantlets growing on AC-free medium had almost identical polyphenol levels, which greatly increased after the seventh week of culture both in the tissues and the medium. The effect of AC on microcutting growth as well as the significance of polyphenols for micropropagation are discussed | E | ||||

Buchholz during budbreak were determined. GDP and GTP contents were significantly higher in the juvenile clone apex than in the mature ones, whereas there was no difference in ATP concentration between the two materials. In vivo, induction of protein synthesis was similar in the two clones after 10 min of [35S]-methionine labeling. The increase of [35S]-methionine-tRNAs and labeled proteins continued up to 30 min for the juvenile clone. They markedly declined for the mature clone after 10 min. Only the diminution of this in vivo protein synthesis was well correlated with a decrease in GTP content | E | ||||||

This report is based on Tom Bonnicksen’s Ph.D. Dissertation completed at the University of California, Berkeley. Applicable to: Fire and vegetation mosaic ecosystem elements. Critical Findings: It was determined, for example, that: 1) the Redwood Canyon watershed is comprised of a mosaic of aggregations as space-time systems with most of the aggregations ranging from 135 to 1600 square meters (0.03 to 0.395 acres) with most overstory aggregations generally less than 800 square meters (0.20 acres); 2) conifer dominated aggregations have increased from what was present in the presettlement forest; 3) white fir top tier dominated aggregations increased from comprising 27.4 of the watershed in 1890 to 36.7 percent in 1977; 4) hardwood aggregations have decreased from comprising 9.6 percent of the watershed in 1890 to 6.3 percent in 1977; 5) shrub dominated aggregations have decreased from comprising 19 percent of the watershed in 1890 to 10.9 percent in 1977; 6) bare soil gap areas decreased from comprising 7.5 percent of the watershed area to 5.1 percent in 1977; 7) white fir dominated 45.5 percent of the watershed area covered by sapling and seedling aggregations in the 1890 presettlement forest; 8) the presettlement forest continued mature tree aggregations of which 74 percent contained an understory of trees and shrubs disputing the claim that presettlement forest was mostly open and park-like. |

| 16 | Bonnicksen | T | M | 1981 | Stone, EC | The giant sequoia - mixed conifer forest community characterized through pattern analysis as a mosaic of aggregations. | Forest Ecology and Management | 3 | 4 | 307-328 | This hypothesis was examined using 5-point pattern analysis techniques. The results showed statistically significant levels of contagion for most of the tree classes analyzed, thereby demonstrating the presence of aggregations in the giant sequoia-mixed conifer forest community. Both distance and quadrat methods of analysis also showed that older and larger trees have a tendency to be uniformly dispersed. Aggregations tended to decrease in size as the age of the trees increased. However, giant sequoia was unique in that its aggregations did not tend to decrease in size as the trees grew older. The quadrat methods also showed that most aggregations in the giant sequoia-mixed conifer forest community range in size 135-1600 m2. These results are compared with the pattern produced by a prescribed burn designed to reduce fuels and restore natural conditions. The prescribed burn reduced the density of trees but it did not significantly alter the pattern of trees in the 41-60 yr and older age classes. The management implications of these findings are discussed | Content: A study was conducted in the Redwood Creek watershed in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. This paper formally publishes some of the results presented in Bonnicksen and Stone (1978). Applicable to: Fire and vegetation mosaic ecosystem elements. Critical Findings: The giant sequoia-mixed conifer forest community in the Redwood Creek watershed is composed of mosaics of more or less even-aged aggregations that are maintained by a process of cyclic change. |

Alternative objectives put forward by the Park Service, aiming at restoring or maintaining natural conditions, are evaluated using data from a giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum)/mixed conifer forest in Kings Canyon National Park, California [see FA 43, 2232]. It is concluded that structural maintenance objectives (those aiming to maintain the vegetation in its current state, or restore it to its presettlement state and maintain it there) are not biologically feasible since this forest community is not in a steady state. Process maintenance objectives, allowing succession to continue in the current vegetation, or after restoration to a presettlement condition, are, therefore, preferred. A new option is also presented, based on a high resolution description of the presettlement forest community and named the reconstruction-simulation approach. | Content: A paper addressing the need to develop quantitative, clear objectives to restore national park ecosystems to their presettlement or natural state. Applicable to: Ecosystem management, adaptive management, reference variability. Critical Findings: Bonnicksen and Stone state: “No matter which philosophy is accepted, national park ecosystems will forever more be the product of man’s actions, and man’s flawed knowledge of what constitutes their natural structure and function. To be honest with themselves and the public, scientists and Park Service managers must put aside their differences, decide on the goal, and act on what is learned from scientific investigations. They must always be open to change as knowledge grows and new insights are reported.” |

The most conspicuous change in the forest community from the presettlement condition (.apprxeq. = 1890) was a general increase in the area of aggregations dominated by pole-size trees and mature trees, and a corresponding decrease in the area of aggregations dominated by sapling- and seedling-size trees. Aggregations dominated by white fir had both the greatest decline in area for sapling and seedling aggregations and the greatest increase in area for large mature, mature, and pole aggregations of any species in the watershed. The area of aggregations dominated by shrubs also declined, with manzanita aggregations showing the largest loss in area for any shrub species. Hardwoods were also a far more important part of the presettlement forest community than they are today | Content: The presettlement state (i.e., the ancient forest as it appeared before 1890) of a giant sequoia-mixed conifer forest community in the Redwood Creek watershed of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks is reconstructed using a backward projection in time of plant aggregations. This paper formally publishes some of the results presented in Bonnicksen and Stone (1978). Applicable to: Fire and vegetation mosaic ecosystem elements. Critical Findings: Several major findings that are important to our overall understanding of presettlement (i.e., before 1890) vegetation mosaic in giant sequoia groves: 1) most of the overstory aggregations covered an area of 800 square meters (0.197 acres) indicating that the forest community is a mosaic of predominantly small but relatively distinct aggregations composed of one or more layers each layer made up of trees of about the same age; 2) there has been a general increase in the area of aggregations dominated by pole size and mature trees and a corresponding decrease in the area of aggregation dominated by sapling and seedling-size trees i.e., saplings and seedlings as the top tier of vegetation covered 28 percent (over one-fourth) of the watershed in 1890 as compared to 9 percent in 1977; 3) the proportion of the Redwood Creek watershed occupied overstory aggregations was 49 percent in 1890 as contrasted to 63 percent in 1977; 4) overstory aggregation areas comprised of white fir increased from 27 percent in 1890 to 37 percent in 1977; 5) area comprised of mostly hardwoods was higher in 1890 (10 percent) as compared to 6 percent in 1977; 6) area of Redwood Creek watershed comprised of shrubs has decreased from 19 percent in 1890 to 11 percent in 1977; and 7) 74 percent of the watershed in 1890 was comprised of large mature-and mature-tree aggregations containing an understory of trees and/or shrubs. 8) Bonnicksen and Stone conclude that our view of giant sequoia mixed conifer forests in presettlement times as being largely open and park-like is incorrect. Understory trees and shrubs occupied a large area of the mature upper tier classified presettlement forest. |

Critical Findings: The author reports that: • ”Ironically, excluding people from nature is an unnatural change that will ultimately destroy the ecological communities that environmentalists wish to preserve.” • Ancient Sierra Nevada forests are comprised of aggregations (e.g., patches, gaps, even-aged groups of trees, etc.). • The ancient forest mosaic changed continuously in both space and time. • Major disturbance events (e.g., lightning, fire, insects, animal populations, disease, landslides, human activity) brought about this continuous change. • Scientific evidence shows that Native American burning along with lightning played a decisive role in creating and maintaining ancient Sierra Nevada forests. The role of Native Americans as a natural force in the Sierras started at least 4,500 years ago. • Bonnicksen concludes, “The results of our studies show that ancient forests that are supposed to be protected are actually disappearing at an alarming rate.” • Bonnicksen supports a sustainable old-growth option where people are part of nature. |

However, when specific strengths and stiffness were compared, the compression-wood samples showed lower values than normal wood, which in turn showed lower values than opposite or tension wood. | E | |||||
| 133 | Cockrell | R | A | 1974 | A comparison of latewood pits, fibril orientation, and shrinkage of normal and compression wood of giant sequoia (gigantea, growth defects). | Wood Science Technology | 8 | 3 | 197-206 | Reports a detailed anatomical study of compression wood in Sequoia gigantea, in which it is an uncommon feature. Late-wood tracheids in compression wood had pit canals that flared towards the lumen. Boiling and drying of compression-wood blocks induced split extensions at the pit-aperture grooves. The mean S2 fibril angle of 21-25 deg (maximum 32 deg ) was considerably lower than the value (45 deg ) reported in other species. The greater fibril angles of compression wood may be responsible for greater axial shrinkage and lower tangential shrinkage. The low tangential/radial shrinkage ratio is an important physical deviation from normal wood. The magnitude of shrinkage is influenced by the manner of drying, and differs between sapwood and heartwood. | E | ||||||
| 134 | Cole | K | 1983 | Late Pleistocene vegetation of Kings Canyon, Sierra Nevada, California. | Quaternary Research | 19 | 117-129 | Seven packrat midden samples make possible a comparison between the modern and late Pleistocene vegetation in Kings Canyon on the western side of the southern Sierra Nevada. One modern sample contains macrofossils and pollen derived from the present-day oak-chaparral vegetation. Macrofossils from the 6 late Pleistocene samples record a mixed coniferous forest dominated by the xerophytic conifers Juniperus occidentalis, Pinus cf. ponderosa and P. monophylla. The pollen spectra of these Pleistocene middens are dominated by Pinus sp., Taxodiaceae-Cupressaceae-Taxaceae (TCT) and Artemisia sp. Mesophytic conifers are represented by low macrofossil concentrations. Sequoiadendron giganteum is presented by a few pollen grains in the full glacial. Edaphic and snow dispersal are the most likely causes of these mixed assemblages. The dominant macrofossils record a more xeric plant community than those that now occur on similar substrates at higher elevations or latitudes in the Sierra Nevada. These assemblages suggest that late Wisconsin climates were cold with mean annual precipitation not necessarily greater than modern values. A model of low summer ablation allowing for the persistence of the glaciers at higher elevations during the late Wisconsin was supported. S. giganteum may have grown at lower elevations along the western side of the range and P. monophylla may have been more widely distributed in cismontane California during the Pleistocene | E | ||||||||

Vegetation response was analyzed in 18 gaps of three different sizes that developed within the last 7 to 15 years: 1) small gaps from 0.067 hectares (0.16 acres) to 0.097 hectares (0.239 acres) with a mean of 0.086 hectares (0.212 acres); 2) medium gaps from 0.15 hectares (0.37 acres) to 0.24 hectares (0.59 acres) with a mean of 0.20 hectares (0.49 acres); and 3) large gaps from 0.34 hectares (0.839 acres) to 1.17 hectares (2.89 acres) with a mean of 0.67 hectares (1.65 acres). Applicable to: Fire and vegetation mosaic ecosystem elements. Critical Findings: The authors report that: • large gaps (1.65 acres) contained the greatest number of tree species, followed by medium (0.49 acre) and small (0.21 acre) gaps. • giant sequoia, sugar pine, and white fir were present in most gaps. • giant sequoia had the highest density of the tree species in all gap sizes. • ponderosa pine and incense-cedar were found mainly in the lower-elevation plots, and red fir in the higher elevation plots and north and northeast plots. • canyon live oak and black oak each occurred in only 2 of the 18 gaps examined. • 22 shrub species were present with the large gaps containing the greatest number of shrub species followed by medium and small gaps. Whitethorn, greenleaf manzanita, Sierra gooseberry, Sierra currant, bush chinquapin, creeping snowberry, and littleleaf ceanothus occurred in the majority of gaps studied. Mountain whitethorn, greenleaf manzanita, and Sierra gooseberry were commonly observed pioneer shrub species with significantly higher cover in large gaps. • giant sequoia seedlings were both more dense and taller in gap centers than at the edges, and that pioneer shrub species tended to have denser cover in gap centers than at the edges. • Demetry and Duriscoe conclude: “These results show that for many species, gap size can explain a significant amount of variability in tree density and shrub cover in gaps. Several species, those which have characteristics of pioneer species, grew significantly denser or covered significantly more area in large gaps. These pioneer species include giant sequoia, Jeffrey pine, whitethorn, greenleaf manzanita, Sierra gooseberry, bitter cherry, elderberry, and creeping snowberry. For these species, locally intense fire which kills at least a 0.3 hectare patch of mature trees may be necessary for their vigorous growth or recruitment. The mechanism by which these species grow more densely and vigorously in large gaps may be a result both of the heating properties of fires which create large gaps, allowing more individuals to germinate (e.g., drying of the canopy-stored cones of giant sequoia and heat scarification of the soil seed bank, particularly for Ceanothus spp.), and of increased resource availability in large gaps allowing both higher survival and more rapid growth of seedling.” |

Applicable to: Vegetation mosaic reference variability Critical Findings: This study confirmed that the lack of disturbances in giant sequoia forests will result in formation of a fully stocked stand with little or no regeneration of any of the tree species. The most likely trees species to regenerate will be white fir, leading to a long term shift in species composition. Treating the forest with selective thinning or prescribed burning will result in giant sequoia regeneration immediately following the disturbance but high levels of seedling mortality can result as a function of site and climate variables. Irrespective of the high levels of seedling mortality, survival was considered adequate to insure establishment and recruitment of giant sequoia in the understory. |

A first-order rate constant of 2.1 .times. 10-5 yr-1 was calculated for the racemization of bound aspartic acid from the extent of racemization in dendrochronologically dated sequoia heartwood samples. Because the racemization reaction is temperature dependent, an average temperature which the bound aspartic acid in sequoia had experienced during the past .apprx. 2200 yr was obtained. This value agrees with modern temperatures near the sample location and estimated paleotemperatures during the past .apprx. 2000 years | E | |||||

Applicable to: Fire and organic debris ecosystem elements. Critical Findings: The following conclusions were reached. • The forests in the different Sierra regions do not have similar fire size at the same frequencies; • The fire frequencies have changed over time for most but not all forests in this century. • The magnitude of change in fire frequencies among the forests depends on the forest. Those in the central-western Sierra showed the greatest change. • Not all forest exhibit a similar pattern of fire frequency. • There is a regional pattern in fire frequency. The trend in the central-western Sierra, particularly the Eldorado National Forest, is for small, frequent fires to be smaller since 1950 and large, infrequent fires to be larger. A nearly opposite pattern occurs in the southern Sierra, particularly Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Parks. |

In T. baccata delayed development of minute axillary buds occurs from these meristems after 1-4 yr on the intact plant. In the other conifers, development of additional axillary buds from these meristems was induced by natural frost damage or by artificial pruning and disbudding. The discovery of these detached meristems is discussed with regard to the regenerative capacity of the conifers in comparison to other plants | E | |||||||

Germination was recorded after 5 wk. The 2 populations were significantly different (av. germination 40.7 and 34.9%). Germination was slower in the presence of captan and after short (0 and 7 days) stratification periods, but final germination percentage were not affected. In a second experiment, seed samples from 5 populations were soaked overnight in aerated water, treated with captan, and stratified for 25 days at 2.8degC. After 5 wk there were significant differences between populations in germination. Av. germination of soaked seeds was 25.6%, compared with 20.2% for unsoaked controls, but the differences were not significant | Content: A report documenting the results of a giant sequoia seed germination trial.

Samples were significantly variable in percent seed germination, cotyledon number, isozyme allele frequencies and observed heterozygosity. Seed germination varied among populations, but did not reveal any clear geographic patterns. Cotyledon numbers (of 871 seedlings) varied among populations and geographic areas. Cuttings (from 608 seedlings) rooted at 94%. Isozyme variation was found in every population sample at one or more loci. Little if any recent gene flow is likely to have occurred between the northern and southern populations. Relatively low heterozygosity among embryo samples suggests that inbreeding and/or population substructuring is likely in giant sequoia populations. Relatively higher levels of heterozygosity are found in the southern parts of the range, suggesting different local selective regimes. Early data suggest that the most northern native population (Placer Grove) may be substantially different from the other populations | Content: This paper is the first published study of patterns and amounts of genetic variation among samples from native populations of giant sequoia.
