“…Although the basics of dwatf mistletoe control have been known for a long time (Koristian andLong 1922, Pearson 1950), past cutting practices may have exaceIbated SWDM infection in southwestern ponderosa pine stands. Light improvement selection cutting was extensively practiced throughout the Southwest until the 1980's (Heidmann 1983). Under this system, mortality losses in virgin stands were reduced by hatvesting merchantable trees that were dying or expected to die during the following 20-year cutting cycle.…”

This conference brought together scientiests and managers from federal, state, and local agencies, along with private-sector interests, to examine key concepts involving sustainable ecological systems, and ways in which to apply these concepts to ecosyst~m management. Session topics were: ecological consequenses of land and water use changes, biology of rare and declining species and habitats, conservation biology and restoration ecology, developing and applying ecological theory to management of ecological systems, sustainable ecosystems and forest health, and sustainable ecosystems to respond to human needs. A plenary session established the philosophical and historial

“…Arceuthobium vaginatum occurred more often and more severely on the driest sites where temperatures and insolation were the greatest. Heidmann (1983) presents recommendations for silvicultural prescriptions appropriate to mature stands of P. ponderosa heavily infected with dwarf mistletoe, but these appear feasible only in sites with the highest timber potentials. Throughout the series, mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) may also infest stands and influence timber management.…”

A habitat type classification for the coniferous forests of central and southern Utah includes the hierarchical taxonomic system of land classification that is based on potential natural vegetation of forest sites and uses data from more than 720 sample stands. A total of 37 habitat types within seven series are defined and described. A diagnostic key will help in field identification of the habitat types based upon indicator plant species. In addition, descriptions of mature forest communities include information on the ecological distribution of all species. Potential productivity for timber, climatic characteristics, surface soil characteristics, and distribution maps are provided for the major types. Preliminary silvicultural and wildlife habitat implications for natural resource management are based on field observations and current information.

“…fected ponderosa pine stands will not control the infection (Heidmann 1968, Shea and Lewis 1971). Removal of enough infected overstory trees may result in blowdown of the remaining trees.…”

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE MIXED CONIFERS Mixed conifer forests occupy sites more moist than those usually occupied by pure stands of ponderosa pine. 2 Pinyon-juniper woodlands and the variable mixtures of Chihuahua pine, Apache pine, and evergreen shrubs are not mixed conifer forests within this definition. The common overstory species in mixed conifer forests are Douglas-fir, ponderosa pine, white fir, Engelmann spruce, aspen, southwestern white pine, blue spruce, and corkbark fir, often in more or less that order of abundance. In some
