a large collection of botryosphaeriaceae isolates obtained from fruit and forest trees with fruit rot, canker and dieback disease symptoms in northern provinces of the country were examined in this study. based on morphology and sequence data (its and ef1-α), two species, diplodia mutila and spencermartinsia viticola are illustrated and described as new records for iran mycobiota. furthermore, ...

In recent years, there has been the phenomena of spruce dieback in Europe. Significant areas of spruce low mortality now cover both sides of the Polish southern border. We evaluated ecochemical parameters influencing the heavy dieback occurring in mature spruce stands in the Polish Carpathian Mountains. Dolomite, magnesite and serpentinite fertilizers were applied to experimental plots located ...

I report on a documented dieback in spicebush, Lindera benzoin, after the winter of 1993-1994 in two mature deciduous forest stands in southwestern Ohio. The study compares differences between 67 ha Hueston Woods and 5.2 ha Kramer Woods and examines spatial patterns of decline in Kramer Woods. Local daily minimum temperatures in January 1994 were among the coldest on record since 1889The shrub ...

the expanding phenomenon of dieback is caused by the reaction of trees against the harmful biotic and a biotic factor that lead to dying of shoots and branches of trees from upper crown to lower crown. this phenomenon spreads throughout the leaves and branches and all parts of the plant and may finally lead to the death of the plant. this study aimed to identify species dieback especially carpi...

Hydraulic impairment due to xylem embolism and carbon starvation are the two proposed mechanisms explaining drought-induced forest dieback and tree death. Here, we evaluate the relative role played by these two mechanisms in the long-term by quantifying wood-anatomical traits (tracheid size and area of parenchyma rays) and estimating the intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE) from carbon isotopi...

Severe droughts may increase physiological stress on long-lived woody vegetation, occasionally leading to rapid defoliation and progressive increase in mortality of overstorey trees. Over the last few years, episodes of drought-induced tree dieback have been documented in a variety of woodlands and forests around the world. However, the factors determining tree survival and subsequent recovery ...

Science for Conservation presents the results of investigations contracted to science providers outside the Department of Conservation. Reports are subject to peer review within the Department and, in some instances, to a review from outside both the Department and the science providers. The Efficacy of possum control in reducing forest dieback in the Otira and Deception Catchments, Central Wes...

Predicted changes in climate have raised concerns about potential impacts on terrestrial forest ecosystem productivity, biogeochemical cycling, and the availability of water resources. This review summarizes characteristics of drought typical to the major forest regions of the United States, future drought projections, and important features of plant and forest community response to drought. Re...
