Basics
In the Lake Tahoe Basin White pine blister rust is significantly affecting recruitment potential and survival of small and intermediate-sized trees. Such adverse demographic effects can have long-lasting consequences on population structure and dynamics. Comstock era logging, in some locations, has reduced effective population numbers and genetic variation of sugar pine. Both influences (i.e., WPBR and historical logging) can significantly affect how these species respond to other stressors such as global climatic change. Strong evidence of negative population and genetic effects warrant white pine restoration in the Lake Tahoe Basin.

| 07/19/2017 8:58 PM | Kiara Cuerpo-Hadsall | Findings: • Season of planting, fall versus spring, and caging were tested to determine best planting time and if seedling protection was warranted. Seedling survival was two times greater in fall plantings versus spring plantings in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Protective caging was generally not warranted. • Restoration planting survival for sugar pine seedlings were 16% at the Tunnel Creek/Sand Harbor location and 51% at Sugar Pine Point State Park. Five hundred sugar pine seedlings were planted (total 1,000) at each location and seedlings were watered in 2013, at both sites. Due to low survival at Tunnel Creek/Sand Harbor 500 seedlings were sown in 2014 and in fall 2016 these 2-year sugar pine seedlings will be out-planted at Tunnel Creek/Sand Harbor (and will be supplemented with watering in the summers of 2017 and 2018 to improve survival rates) and supplemental seedlings will also be out-planted at Sugar Pine Point State Park as well. • Restoration plantings for western white pine at Blackwood Canyon and whitebark pine at Rifle Peak occurred in October 2013 yielding seedling survival of 57% and 24%, respectively, with approximately 1,000 seedlings of each species out-planted. In 2014 supplemental restoration plantings were made at both Blackwood Canyon and Rifle Peak, planting an additional 300-500 seedlings at each location. In fall 2016 we will out-plant the remaining western white pine (~300) and whitebark pine (~200) seedlings at each restoration site. |

| 07/19/2017 8:57 PM | Kiara Cuerpo-Hadsall | Management Implications: Use of local and genetically diverse planting material is advised and in high-risk stands, for white pine blister rust, deploying =33% blister rust resistance is recommended. Supplemental watering of restoration plantings is recommended at dry east shore locations in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Restoration plantings need continued monitoring. |
