A pathogen such as the P-group of Heterobasidion annosum has become an intractable problem in many Sienna east side pine stands in California because the fungus is adapted to colonization of freshly cut stump surfaces. Other diseases such as blackstain root disease are associated with certain root feeding bark beetles that are attracted to tree roots after site disturbances such as thinning. Fire may also affect various root disease fungi and their pathological behavior in longleaf pine through interactions with various soil factors as a consequence of various land use.
