On sample plot 11 Japanese larch grows more or less equally with shore pine. In several production forest cultures established earlier on recultivated oil shale opencast mines Japanese larch has suffered from frost because of its longer vegetation period [10].

Growth of shore pines in the geographical experimental plantation from the other provenances was unsatisfactory.

In it, ancestors of modern shore pine colonized the first, newly emerged marine terrace (current terrace 5) between 800,000 and 1 mya, when it had soils similar to those on the current lowest terrace (terrace 1).

But patches of dwarfed forest do occur on the second terrace, and similar populations in the past may have provided an adaptation route from shore pine to Bolander pine.

The third sequence would have shore pine arriving on the coastal terrace 5, migrating to terraces 4, 3, 2, and 1 as they emerged and developed soils favorable to shore pine, being extirpated as increasingly older terraces evolved unfavorable soils, then recolonizing terrace 3 or leaving a few adapted survivors to evolve and recolonize terraces 4 and 5.

The genetic data support the first and third sequences, colonization of recent shore-pine sites by shore pine, followed by adaptation and evolution of Bolander pine on terrace 3, and by further adaptation and colonization of the upper terraces, probably in the order 3-4-5.

Thus, under the first and third sequences, estimates of terrace emergence place an upper bound on the time since shore pine colonized terrace 1 or 2 at 115,000 to 285,000 yr ago, and pollen records suggest a lower bound of 3000 yr - less if colonization occurred after pines were abundant, and surely less than 8000 yr if the Cape Mendocino core indicates the absence of P.

Of course, prehistoric population sizes are unknown, but current census counts are 50 to 100 adult trees per hectare for shore pine and 700 per hectare for Bolander pine.

As the grant was awarded and the project entered planning stages, "The community's number-one statement to the city was to save as many of the rhododendron and native shore pines as possible," said Bill Johnson, a 10-year resident of the Greentrees Village who sits on its board of directors.

Rhododendron controversy blooms on coast

Whiskey barrels and galvanized farm-trough feed containers hold salad greens, blueberries, and salt-and wind-resistant shore pines.

In a small walkable community on the Washington Coast, we designed two houses (and one big yard) for a new kind of beach living

Sandy soil and salty wind reduce many coastal gardens to beach grass and shore pines. Jerry and Bob Copley, who live in Gleneden Beach, Oregon, solved both soil and wind problems with devices that should work anywhere.

Look down some fairways, as the course turns inland away from the ocean - on Bandon Trails, you see the ocean only in the distance, rather than from the top of a cliff, the beach and waves below you - and ventures through meadowland bordered by shore pines, and you almost expect to see Broken Top.

New course continues success story

It reminds you of the Monterey, Calif., area, only with palm trees instead of shore pines and warm breezes instead of fog.

More to this vacation than just winging it

The branches of the shore pines lie still, as if napping in balmy delight.

I come to watch waves like that one at the start of "Hawaii Five-O" and to see shore pines bend like quivering italic letters.
