ABSTRACT: This project will fund the mapping of screwbean mesquite die-off throughout the region, develop a protocol to assess and monitor screwbean mesquite tree health, and collect samples to identify insect vectors, pathogens, and environmental conditions that could be associated with the decline. In addition, TNC will coordinate with the interagency Screwbean Mesquite Working Group to train agency staff and volunteers on tree health monitoring protocol to be implemented throughout the range of screwbean mesquite decline.
