FOREST PATHOLOGY Root and Butt Rot Diseases
Diseases caused by root rots figure prominently amongst the most-studied pathologies of forest trees. Indeed, root and butt rots cause more economic damage to commercial forestry in the temperate world than any other known type of disease. While this notoriety underlines the negative impact of this type of disease on timber production, a much more dynamic and positive role can be assigned to ro...
متن کاملThe Effects of Drought and Shade on the Performance, Morphology and Physiology of Ghanaian Tree Species
In tropical forests light and water availability are the most important factors for seedling growth and survival but an increasing frequency of drought may affect tree regeneration. One central question is whether drought and shade have interactive effects on seedling growth and survival. Here, we present results of a greenhouse experiment, in which seedlings of 10 Ghanaian tree species were ex...
متن کاملEvaluation of Three Electronic Noses for Detecting Incipient Wood Decay
Tree assessment methodologies, currently used to evaluate the structural stability of individual urban trees, usually involve a visual analysis followed by measurements of the internal soundness of wood using various instruments that are often invasive, expensive, or inadequate for use within the urban environment. Moreover, most conventional instruments do not provide an adequate evaluation of...
متن کاملTolerance of soil pathogens co-varies with shade tolerance across species of tropical tree seedlings.
A negative feedback between local abundance and natural enemies could contribute to maintaining tree species diversity by constraining population growth of common species. Soil pathogens could be an important mechanism of such noncompetitive distance and density-dependent (NCDD) mortality, but susceptibility to local pathogens may be ameliorated by a life history strategy that favors survivorsh...
متن کاملAbove- and below-ground competition in high and low irradiance: tree seedling responses to a competing liana Byttneria grandifolia
In tropical forests, trees compete not only with other trees, but also with lianas, which may limit tree growth and regeneration. Liana effects may depend on the availability of aboveand below-ground resources and differ between tree species. We conducted a shade house experiment to test the effect of light (4% and 35% full sun, using neutral-density screen) on the competitive interactions betw...
