RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Yosemite (California) - A recent report indicates that 29.7% of the park's
pines are now showing mottling caused by damage from ozone, up from 5.7% in
1985. The Service will be conducting research to determine if ozone affects
giant sequoias as much as it does pine trees. [Associated Press]
