Given the species you're working with, you might want to avail yourself of some of the research here in the Pacific Northwest. If you're interested, I can forward your message to colleagues at the Forest & Range Experiment Station in Portland, Oregon. There are laboratories in Olympia, Washington, Portland, Corvallis, Oregon, Seattle, Washington, and Juneau Alaska, all of which are in the temperate mesic forest type and where such research has been done. Lodgepole is a fascinating tree with an unbelievable ecological amplitude, not unlike Pinus Sylvestris. One thing is for certain: you will have Lodgepole forests from now on in Britain. -- Shelley Cimon - Oregon Hanford Advisory Board | Tel: (503) 963-0853 Norm Cimon - Forestry & Range Sciences Lab | Fax: (503) 963-0853 La Grande, Oregon
