Project Summary

This study established a network of ecological monitoring plots in lower montane mixed-conifer forests (focal species: sugar pine), upper montane forests (focal species: western white pine), and subalpine woodlands (focal species: whitebark pine) in the Lake Tahoe Basin. The monitoring plots were used to assess ecological and population dynamics of each focal species to inform conservation and restoration strategies for white pines in the Tahoe Basin.
