Abstract

The pinyon pines of southwestern North America hare been used by man as a source of food, firewood, medicinal compounds, and ceremonial materials for many centuries. The importance of these pines to contemporary inhabitants of the area has decreased markedly in recent years, and in some areas programs have been initiated to curtail the development of the juniper-pinyon association. These programs are aimed at increasing local water resources, but the long-range effects of the methods employed remain to be seen.
