I've just launched a youtube channel to support Forest Health at Cal Poly, winter quarter 2018. The channel highlights 10 forest health problems with biological causes. The videos are a little rough in places and I welcome your feedback goo.gl/MTMF7m
Nice write up on Ecosphere paper led by Richard Cobb @forestpathogens and Katinka Ruthrof on post tree die-off dynamics and management options using conceptual state and transition models: calpolynews.calpoly.edu/news_releases/… onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…
The state of Missouri is recruiting a forest pathologist to be based in Columbia. Looks like a good job: mdc6.mdc.mo.gov/applications/r…
We've got a new analysis in Ecosphere that streamlines adaptive management of tree mortality. We used State and Transition modeling -- a technique popular with range land management -- to show how you can relate mortality events across the globe goo.gl/rwj5wo
Here's a great starter position with FHP for those just finishing BS/MS programs in forest health: fsoutreach.gdcii.com/?id=9A36AF1986…

We're getting our second application of SODDr - a study of disease resistance vs tolerance - ready for submission. As said: super flexible
See this SODDr model description and an example application: goo.gl/XUNXCW SODDr is flexible & easy to use, I hope is used more
The issue includes the first publication on SODDr the @Noamross stage structured multi-host model github.com/noamross/SODDr
The issue covers the broad range of approaches and evaluation, ad-hoc, eradication, and designed experiments: goo.gl/cmSB2s

Chris's work has done a tremendous amount to link plant epi and broader disease ecology -- solved a lot of practical problems also

P ramorum reestablished quickly. It seems clear that disease-fire interactions where important, what about repeated fire and disease?
Keep in mind, these results are from the 2008 Basin Fire; the 2016 Soberanes Fire impacted the *same* areas only 8 years later
Increased burn severity occurred in forests adjacent to disease impacted stands- this is likely driven by disease-generated fuels
