1 The North Coast s Well Studied Forests REALLY!? Gregory A. Giusti Forest Advisor, RPF #2709 University of California Cooperative Extension
2 Northern Bishop pine (Pinus muricata) forests
3 Common names - Bishop, pricklecone, dwarf marine, Obispo, umbrella, bull, pitch, or Santa Cruz Island pine (Peattie 1950, Little 1980).
4 Forests types with Bishop Pine Bishop Shore Pine (immediate coast) Bishop- Doug Fir (on old dunes) Bishop-chinquapin (on old dunes) Pygmy cypressbishop pine (old terrace deposits)
5 Decline of bishop Pine Forest Limited distribution Seedling regeneration limited by lack of fire Most populations are at the end of their short life span ( years) Most population are even aged stands Development Lack of fire results in higher pathogen numbers Increased planting of Monterey Pine
6 Pest & Disease Impacts COASTAL DWARF MISTLETOE Arceuthobium littorum

13 Coast Redwoods Sequoia sempervirens 1950s some wildlife work examining bear damage on second growth redwoods (Fowler 1955). 1980s increased interest in bear damage (Giusti 1988). Still a strong focus on production research.

18 Coast Redwoods Still so much to learn! Small mammals Soil Invertebrates Arboreal forests Role of decaying wood
19 Oak Woodlands just a different type of north coast forest Woodlands are a collection of parts working together
20 Oak Woodlands To date 6 Research Symposia addressing Ecology, Management, and Policy of oak woodlands. First one in Statewide focus began in 1985 with the creation of the IHRMP (Integrated Hardwood Range Management Program) a joint effort between UC, DFG & CDF.
21 Oak Woodlands Research focus on: Wildlife Livestock interactions Range management Soil relationships Climate change Social attitudes
22 Oak Woodlands still undiscovered interactions Turkey Vultures are cavity nesters. Who Knew?!
23 North Coast Forests We know a few things but we have a lot more to learn! Human demographics and expectations Changes in atmospheric conditions Changes in forest conditions
