Gottschalk Sponsored by: Forest Service Research Agricultural Research Service Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service FOREWORD This meeting was the 15th in a series of annual USDA Interagency Gypsy Moth Research Forums that are sponsored by the USDA Gypsy Moth Research and Development Coordinating Group. The title of this year’s forum reflects the inclusion of other invasive species in addition to gypsy moth. The Committee’s original goal of fostering communication and an overview of ongoing research has been continued and accomplished in this meeting. The proceedings document the efforts of many individuals: those who made the meeting possible, those who made presentations, and those who compiled and edited the proceedings. But more than that, the proceedings illustrate the depth and breadth of studies being supported by the agencies and it is satisfying, indeed, that all of this can be accomplished in a cooperative spirit.

  • Stem Damages Caused by Heart Rot and Large Poplar Borer on Hybrid and European Aspen
    Forestry Studies | Metsanduslikud Uurimused, Vol. 66, Pages 21–26 Stem damages caused by heart rot and large poplar borer on hybrid and European aspen Martins Zeps, Silva Senhofa, Mara Zadina, Una Neimane and Aris Jansons* Zeps, M., Senhofa, S., Zadina, M., Neimane, U., Jansons, A. 2017. Stem damages caused by heart rot and large poplar borer on hybrid and European aspen. – Forestry Studies | Metsanduslikud Uurimused 66, 21–26. ISSN 1406-9954. Journal homepage: http://mi.emu.ee/forestry.studies Abstract. Solid wood production of hybrid aspen requires relative longer rotation peri- ods, thus increasing risk of wood damages by pests and diseases. We compared dam- ages by heart rot and poplar borer of 48 years old hybrid (Populus tremuloides Michx. × P. tremula L.) and European aspen in a progeny trial located in Eastern part of Latvia. Trees were harvested and rot patches and galleries were recorded and measured at a stump level. The number of galleries had positive relation on number of patches and total area of rot. The susceptibility of the rot and poplar borer was similar for both hybrid and European aspen. Yet, some differences among families were detected. No effect of pathogens damage was observed on the tree growth. Larger trees had smaller proportion and incidence of rot and galleries per unit of area as well as wider outer rot-free wood layer. Key words: Populus tremula, Populus tremuloides × P. tremula, wood damages, heart rot, Saperda carcharias.

  • International Matters – October 2015 ………………………………………………………………………………………….…… for All
    International Matters – October 2015 ………………………………………………………………………………………….…… For all Pakistan Scouts rally to support earthquake rescue and relief efforts On 26 October 2015, a powerful 8.1-magnitude earthquake rocked the border of Pakistan, causing more than 300 deaths and injuries to at least 2500 people. Thousands of houses were damaged across the country as a result of the earthquake. The day after the earthquake, Rahila Hameed Khan Durrani, the newly-elected Chief Commissioner of the Pakistan Boy Scouts Association (PBSA) visited Peshawar Scout Headquarters and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Boy Scouts Association as a show of support for the Scouts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, FATA and others, who are actively engaged in the rescue of the survivors. After being briefed on the situation, Rahila Hameed visited the Lady Reading Hospital in Peshawar and enquired about the well-being of the women and children affected by the earthquake. She was impressed by the assistance being extended by the Peshawar, Khyber Agency and Matta Scouts, and encouraged them to help the survivors to the best of their abilities. Scouts at Swat Valley, one of the badly affected areas, are also helping the survivors to search for their belongings from among the rubble of damaged buildings, and providing them with shelter and necessities. Some blocks of the Pakistan Scouts Cadet College are also severely affected by the earthquake. Classes are now being conducted in makeshift classrooms. There is an urgent need to rebuild these blocks in view of the approaching winter. Scouts have once again shown to affected communities that they can rise to the occasion to provide the support that is required.
