- Association Rust cankers were associated with reduced jack pine height, diameter, and volume growth.
- Association Cankered pines had lower cubic volume than unaffected pines.
- Association Average size of cankered pines was inversely related to the percentage of severely cankered trees.
- Association Cankers reduced merchantable volume by about 11%.
- Observation Mortality among older cankered trees occurred mostly in dominated trees.
- Association Cankered pines were more likely to become dominated and die than unaffected pines.
