| Summary: | For sites with canker, the first 6 columns show data for only trees with canker categorized by ecoregion, and column 7 shows the mean across all sites for trees with canker. Column 8 shows the size distribution of all trees (with and without canker) at sites where canker was present. Values beside size classes in Column 8 refer to the % increase in proportion of infected trees vs. the population as a whole for each size class (*P < 0.10). For example, there are 6% more trees infected with canker in DBH class 1 than there are in the population (NS), while there are 35% fewer trees infected with canker in 15–20 cm size class than there are in the population as a whole (P < 0.10). Columns 9 and 10 show data for sites without canker, broken down into young sites (n = 9) and older sites (n = 7). For sites without canker, young sites (column 9) were located within recent burn perimeters scattered across the Yukon Tanana Uplands, Ray Mountains, and North Ogilvie Mountains ecoregions, while 6 of 7 old sites (column 10) were located south of the Alaska Range within the Cook Inlet and Copper River ecoregions. CK = Cook Inlet, CR = Copper River, RM = Ray Mountains, TKL = Tanana Kuskokwim Lowlands, NOM = North Ogilvie Mountains, YTU = Yukon Tanana Uplands.
