In 2009, the authors initiated a small pilot survey of six limber
pine stands in CRMO following the Interagency Whitebark Pine
Monitoring Protocol for the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (Greater
Yellowstone Whitebark Pine Monitoring Working Group hereafter
referred to as GYWPMWG] 2007). No blister rust was found during
that survey, although mountain pine beetle galleries were found in
several trees, and dwarf mistletoe was ubiquitous. In 2010 the
authors tested a draft version of the protocol currently being used
by the Upper Columbia Basin Network (UCBN), as well as the Klamath
Network (KLMN) and Sierra Nevada Network (SIEN; McKinney et al.
2012). In 2011 the authors implemented the first full panel of 30
plots, plus two oversamples, following approval of the McKinney et
al. (2012) protocol. Results from 2011 are reported in Stucki and
Rodhouse (2012). This report presents the results for the second
full panel of 30 plots established and surveyed in August 2012.
Note that panel 2 includes the two oversample plots that were
established in 2011. This is the second formal year of protocol
implementation, and the permanent plots established in 2012
represent the second of 3 panels of plots that will be monitored
into the future.
