Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Distance to mature aspens was not significantly correlated with Scots pine rust infection.
- Association Number of mature aspens was not significantly correlated with Scots pine rust infection.
- Mechanism Adult aspens appeared to spread rust primarily through aspen sprouts.
- Association Scots pine leader length was significantly positively correlated with rust infection rate.
- Association Vigorously growing productive pines appeared more susceptible to rust than less productive trees.
- Recommendation The authors considered retained aspen risk low when management keeps sprouts low in fertile high-risk areas.
