DOI: 10.1186/s40663-018-0134-2
Abstract: BackgroundVolume and taper equations are essential for obtaining estimates of total and merchantable stem volume. Taper functions provide advantages to merchantable volume equations because they estimate diameter inside or outside bark at specific heights on… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.908680
Abstract: Western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) is highly susceptible to Annosus root and butt rot disease, caused by Heterobasidion occidentale across its native range in western North America. Understanding molecular mechanisms of tree defense and dissecting genetic… read more here.
