Sampling Emerald Bay forest stand (IMAGE)
Caption
A UC Davis field crew measures a large ponderosa pine while conducting forest inventory in the Emerald Point old-growth stand at Lake Tahoe. Ancient ponderosa pines that once grew in a open-canopied forest now confront waves of fire-intolerant firs and incense cedars that have taken advantage of a century of fire suppression.
