During the second growing season after the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, AbiesamabilisDougl. ex Forbes, A. procera Rehd., and Pinusmonticola Dougl. ex D. Don produced adventitious roots into tephra, the first known instance of rooting by these species. Abieslasiocarpa (Hook.) Nutt., Chamaecyparisnootkatensis (D. Don) Spach, Thujaplicata Donn. ex D. Don, Tsugaheterophylla (Raf.) Sarg., and T. mertensiana (Bong.) Carr. also adventitiously rooted; Pseudotsugamenziesii (Mirb.) Franco did not.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
