Confidence in identifying particular causes from this range of potential problems requires a combination of knowledge and experience that is not easily acquired without becoming a specialist in the field. Nevertheless, we hope that part I of this handbook will provide some useful guidelines by which managers and owners can investigate health problems in their trees. Straightforward field observations of the kind covered here can often allow crucial distinctions to be made between broad categories of disease; they can also provide solutions on which practical decisions can be based. Part II of the handbook is a key to the most common problems of plantation trees and in part III important features of some of the diseases and disorders covered in part II are summarized. Full details of these can be found in "Diseases of Forest and Ornamental Trees" by D H Phillips and D A Burdekin (Macmillan; 2nd ed; 1992), which also provides descriptions of the problems that are noted in the key but not treated in part III. The key and descriptions include some common diseases of trees that are not normally' regarded as major crop trees but which are frequently grown in commercial woodlands. However, street and garden trees are not dealt with specifically. Although these may suffer from some of the same diseases and disorders as plantation trees, symptom expression and pattern are often different, reflecting the different situations in which they are grown. For a comprehensive treatment of the problems of ornamental and amenity trees, we refer readers to "Diagnosis of Ill-health in Trees" by R G Strouts and T G Winter (HMSO; 1994). We have not dealt separately with Christmas tree plantations since, by and large, they are likely to suffer from the same diseases and disorders as forestry plantations of the same age. Methods used in the cultivation of Christmas trees probably expose them to higher risks of some forms of injury - herbicide damage, for example - and it should be acknowledged that some problems that are significant to Christmas trees but of trivial importance to forest crops have not yet been fully investigated. A common example is summer needle browning of Abies species, the cause of which is unknown. It is also relevant to note here that methods of chemical control have not generally been developed or approved for diseases of forest trees, as very few diseases would ever justify such treatment on a forest scale 2 DISEASES AND DISORDERS OF FOREST TREES in Britain. With the single current exception of stump treatment against Heterobasidion annosum (Fomes), forest diseases are either tolerated or managed; sometimes they can be avoided altogether by the choice of species or silvicultural technique. We have made several references to damage by insects. While many insect attacks are made quite obvious by the type of damage or the presence of the culprits themselves, other cases are not clearly insect- related and so could not readily be excluded from a general diagnostic guide. We are indebted to Mr T G Winter and Mr C I Carter for expert assistance with our brief coverage of insects. Further information can be found in "Forest Insects" by D Bevan (Forestry Commission Handbook 1; HMSO; 1987), and in "Christmas Tree Pests" by Clive Carter and Tim Winter (Forestry Commission Field Book 17; The Stationery Office; 1997). Finally, we should emphasize that we have concentrated on the commonest and most important damaging agents in woods and plantations. There are some uncommon diseases and disorders which can produce similar effects to those we describe. Consequently, not all forms o f damage will be identified by the key. If, on investigation, a problem looks serious, it may be advisable to seek confirmation of its cause from a specialist. NAMES The tree species for which we have used common names in the text are listed opposite with their botanical (Latin) names. The naming of pathogens and the diseases they cause has proved less straightforward as many do not have common names in Britain. Rather than contrive names in English, we have used the Latin name o f the pathogen - as in Lophodermium needle-cast and Crumenulopsis canker. However, although the use of Latin names is supposed to avoid the confusion and imprecision of common names, it frequently fails on the first count because the very accuracy of the system entails frequent revision of names by researchers.

Tests with Wood-Decay Fungi to Control Sprouting from Cut Stumps Infected by Dutch Elm Disease. Baltic Forestry 23(1): 270-273. Abstract The Dutch elm disease pathogen Ophiostoma novo-ulmi in year 2005 invaded the Swedish island of Gotland, which pos- sesses large and valuable population of elms. The control of the disease is accomplished when infected elms are harvested and destroyed, and stumps are treated with the glyphosate herbicide to kill the stumps and the root systems, and prevent further spread of the disease to the neighbouring trees via root contacts. The aim of the present study was to test an alternative method to control the stump sprouting by deploying two species of saprotrophic wood-decay fungi as biological control agents. The study was carried out during three consecutive years 2014, 2015 and 2016. Fungal inoculum of Chondrostereum purpureum and Stereum hirsutum was prepared by cultivating vegetative mycelia in liquid nutrient medium and then formulating into a gel.

  • Achieving Effective Rhododendron Control by Investigating Novel Methods of Forest Vegetation Management
    Achieving effective Rhododendron control by investigating novel methods of forest vegetation management By Edward Daly Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree in Doctor of Philosophy Waterford Institute of Technology School of Science 2014 Abstract In Ireland one of the most serious invasive alien species which poses a threat to local biodiversity, particularly to our native woodlands, is Rhododendron ponticum L.. Rhododendron was first introduced to Ireland during the 19th century as an ornamental garden plant and has since become an established invasive species throughout Ireland. Rhododendron has also, in recent decades, become a significant management issue in plantation forests throughout Ireland. This study sets out to improve our understanding of the auto-ecology and invasion dynamics of rhododendron in Irish forests and to investigate control options to inform future rhododendron management plans. The study was divided into three broad areas. The first study sought to investigate the efficacy of a recently discovered Irish isolate of the fungal pathogen Chondrostereum purpureum as an inhibitor of rhododendron and Betula pendula (birch) sprouting in Ireland. The treated stumps were monitored for fungal colonisation and adventitious sprouting for the ensuing 18 months. The results demonstrated that a combination of mechanical cutting and the subsequent application of C. purpureum is not an effective method of vegetation management for either rhododendron or birch. As a successful primary invader, rhododendron is often found in areas when recent land management activities have taken place. Disturbed substrate coverage and the absence of predators provide rhododendron with optimum regeneration conditions. Many land management practices (particularly in a forestry situation) expose soil.

    Gredleriana Vol. 7 / 2007 pp. 233 - 306 Biodiversität von Schmetterlingen (Lepidoptera) im Gebiet des Naturparks Schlern Peter Huemer Abstract Biodiversity of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) of the Schlern nature park (South Tyrol, Italy) The species diversity of Lepidoptera within the Schlern nature park has been explored during the vegetation periods 2006 and 2007. Altogether 1030 species have been observed in 16 sites, covering about one third of the entire fauna from the province of South Tyrol. Fifteen additional species have been collected during the diversity day 2006 whereas further 113 species date back to historical explorations. The species inventory includes 20 new records for South Tyrol which are briefly reviewed. Among these speciesMicropterix osthelderi, Rhigognostis incarnatella and Cydia cognatana are the first proved records from Italy. Further two species from the surroundings of the Park include the first published records ofPhyllonorycter issikii and Gelechia sestertiella for Italy. Site specific characteristics of Lepidoptera coenosis are discussed in some detail. Historical aspects of lepidopterological exploration of the Schlern are briefly introduced. Keywords: Lepidoptera, faunistics, biodiversity, Schlern, South Tyrol, Italy 1. Einleitung Der Schlern übt als einer der klassischen Dolomitengipfel schon weit über 100 Jahre eine geradezu magische Anziehungskraft auf Naturwissenschaftler unterschiedlichster Coleurs aus (Abb. 1). Seine Nähe zum Siedlungsraum und vor allem die damit verbundene relativ leichte Erreichbarkeit haben wohl zur Motivation mehrerer Forschergenerationen beigetragen, das Gebiet näher zu untersuchen. Zusätzlich war wohl die Arbeit von GREDLER (1863) über Bad Ratzes für manchen Entomologen ein Anlass die Fauna des Schlerns näher unter die Lupe zu nehmen.

Uppsala, Sweden 2012. ISSN 0013-886x. The unicoloured species of the subgenus Blastotere in the family Argyresthiidae are re- viewed. Two new species, Argyresthia svenssoni sp.n. and A. kulfani sp.n., ,are described and compared with closely related species. The biology of A. svenssoni seems to be es- sentially identical with that of A. glabratella, and the two species have a similar distribu- tion pattern. However, when dissecting female specimens from north and south Sweden two different types emerged displaying totally different signa, which led to the conclusion that two good species were involved. Argyresthia svenssoni is so far recorded only from a few European countries, from Italy in the south to north of the Polar Circle in the north of Europe. Argyresthia tatrica Baraniak, Kulfan & Patočka, 2003, the description of which was based on material from Slovakia, is judged to be a junior synonym of A. illuminatella Zeller, 1839.

  • Pseudotsuga Menziesii)
    120 - PART 1. CONSENSUS DOCUMENTS ON BIOLOGY OF TREES Section 4. Douglas-Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) 1. Taxonomy Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirbel) Franco is generally called Douglas-fir (so spelled to maintain its distinction from true firs, the genus Abies). Pseudotsuga Carrière is in the kingdom Plantae, division Pinophyta (traditionally Coniferophyta), class Pinopsida, order Pinales (conifers), and family Pinaceae. The genus Pseudotsuga is most closely related to Larix (larches), as indicated in particular by cone morphology and nuclear, mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA phylogenies (Silen 1978; Wang et al. 2000); both genera also have non-saccate pollen (Owens et al. 1981, 1994). Based on a molecular clock analysis, Larix and Pseudotsuga are estimated to have diverged more than 65 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous to Paleocene (Wang et al. 2000). The earliest known fossil of Pseudotsuga dates from 32 Mya in the Early Oligocene (Schorn and Thompson 1998). Pseudostuga is generally considered to comprise two species native to North America, the widespread Pseudostuga menziesii and the southwestern California endemic P. macrocarpa (Vasey) Mayr (bigcone Douglas-fir), and in eastern Asia comprises three or fewer endemic species in China (Fu et al. 1999) and another in Japan. The taxonomy within the genus is not yet settled, and more species have been described (Farjon 1990). All reported taxa except P. menziesii have a karyotype of 2n = 24, the usual diploid number of chromosomes in Pinaceae, whereas the P. menziesii karyotype is unique with 2n = 26. The two North American species are vegetatively rather similar, but differ markedly in the size of their seeds and seed cones, the latter 4-10 cm long for P.
