Albany, CA: Pacific Southwest Research Station, Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture; p. 571. The Sudden Oak Death Second Science Symposium provided a forum for current research on sudden oak death, caused by the exotic, quarantine pathogen, Phytophthora ramorum. Ninety papers and forty-six posters on the following sudden oak death/P. ramorum topics are included: biology, genetics, nursery and wildland management, monitoring, ecology, and diagnostics. Several papers on P. kernoviae and other forest Phytophthora species are also presented. Key words: sudden oak death, Phytophthora ramorum, invasive species, tanoak, coast live oak ii Proceedings of sudden oak death second science symposium: the state of our knowledge Contents 1 Keynote Address and Overviews 3 Keynote Address Sudden Oak Death Second Science Symposium, Monterey, California, January 19, 2005 Representative Lynn Woolsey, California’s 6th Congressional District 7 USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station Sudden Oak Death Program: 2001-2005 Patrick J.
