Download or read book Diagnosing Emerald Ash Borer and Other Ash Tree Damage written by and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide is intended to assist field personnel in identifying life stages of, and damage caused by, emerald ash borer (EAB) (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire). This difficult-to-detect insect causes symptoms in ash trees similar to those caused by many other abiotic and biotic causes. When diagnosing ash tree problems, it is important to step back and look at the whole picture as many diagnostic clues can be obtained by analyzing site conditions. Symptoms in EAB infested trees initially occur in the top portion of the canopy for the first 1-3 years after infestation.

Download or read book Diseases of Trees and Shrubs written by Wayne A. Sinclair and published by Ithaca, N.Y. : Comstock Pub. Associates. This book was released on 1987 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diseases of Trees and Shrubs is a comprehensive pictorial survey of the diseases of, as well as the environmental damage to, forest and shade trees and woody ornamental plants in the United States and Canada. An authoritative reference, it is also a reliable and handy diagnostic tool that will simplify the identification of specific plant diseases by focusing on signs and symptoms that can be seen with the unaided eye or with a hand lens. This long-needed book gives readers complete, up-to-date information in an easily understood and convenient way. Each of the 247 color plates faces a page of explanatory text covering the biology and ecology (including host and geographic ranges) of the disease-causing agents (pathogens), a list of key references (there are more than 2,250), and, in some cases, black-and-white illustrations of pathogens. Selected information about biological and cultural control is provided. Scientific terms other than Latin names of pathogens are used only when necessary, and a glossary of terms and a comprehensive index are included. The color plates contain more than 1,700 illustrations of the diseases and injuries that some 350 biological agents and environmental factors cause to more than 250 species of plants. The book also serves as a guide to hundreds of other diseases related to those shown. The authors have used three levels of organization for this book. At the first level, diseases caused by biological agents are separated from those caused by environmental stimuli. At the second level, most diseases are grouped according to the plant part affected: leaves, twigs, limbs, roots, trunks, or the entire plant. At the third level, diseases are presented according to the taxonomic relationships among the pathogens. For this major project, the authors examined and photographed diseases and environmental damage in the field, visiting more than 50 states and Canadian provinces. Their book reflects the most important developments in fungal biology and taxonomy, plant bacteriology, virology, and environmentally induced stress in plants. It summarizes information about newly discovered diseases and provides up-to-date accounts of olds ones. Diseases of Trees and Shrubs can be profitable reading for anyone whose technical training does not extend beyond general biology, yet will also be informative to advanced students and plant pathologists. It will be welcomed by agricultural and horticultural advisers, plant inspectors, arborists, nursery professionals, landscapers, foresters, and urban planners. Wayne A. Sinclair is a Professor of Plant Pathology, Howard H. Lyon is Biological Photographer (retired), Department of Plant Pathology, and Warren T. Johnson is Professor of Entomology, all at Cornell University.

Download or read book The Man Who Made Things Out of Trees written by Robert Penn and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2015-10-29 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Penn cut down an ash tree to see how many things could be made from it. After all, ash is the tree we have made the greatest and most varied use of over the course of human history. Journeying from Wales across Europe and Ireland to the USA, Robert finds that the ancient skills and knowledge of the properties of ash, developed over millennia making wheels and arrows, furniture and baseball bats, are far from dead. The book chronicles how the urge to understand and appreciate trees still runs through us all like grain through wood.
Download or read book The Humane Gardener written by Nancy Lawson and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.

Download or read book Mountain Ash written by David Lindenmayer and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mountain Ash draws together exciting new findings on the effects of fire and on post-fire ecological dynamics following the 2009 wildfires in the Mountain Ash forests of the Central Highlands of Victoria. The book integrates data on forests, carbon, fire dynamics and other factors, building on 6 years of high-quality, multi-faceted research coupled with 25 years of pre-fire insights. Topics include: the unexpected effects of fires of varying severity on populations of large old trees and their implications for the dynamics of forest ecosystems; relationships between forest structure, condition and age and their impacts on fire severity; relationships between logging and fire severity; the unexpectedly low level of carbon stock losses from burned forests, including those burned at very high severity; impacts of fire at the site and landscape levels on arboreal marsupials; persistence of small mammals and birds on burned sites, including areas subject to high-severity fire, and its implications for understanding how species in this group exhibit post-fire recovery patterns. With spectacular images of the post-fire environment, Mountain Ash will be an important reference for scientists and students with interests in biodiversity, forests and fire.
Download or read book Effects of Emerald Ash Borer on Ash Tree Health and Economic Loss Due to Ash Tree Removal on the Indiana University Southeast Campus in New Albany Indiana written by Jade R. Bilyeu and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis, an invasive beetle species native to Asia and accidentally introduced to the United States and Canada was first detected in Detroit, Michigan in 2002. Since the initial detection of EAB it has caused ash tree (Fraxinus spp.) mortality ranging between 95-99% in regions of the Midwestern U.S. In an effort to combat ash tree mortality numerous research studies were launched to determine dispersal and behavioral patterns of EAB, as well as address ash tree survival and treatment options. Ash trees were analyzed from both an urban and non-cultivated area on the Indiana University Southeast campus and data were collected in 2015. Measuring canopy density using a densiometer is an accurate and consistent methodology that can be used instead of visual analysis of tree health. The results of data analyses suggest that some trees could have a higher survivorship potential based on growth parameter data in combination with spatial analysis. Using spatial analysis can detect trees with unique growth characteristics when compared to neighboring trees of the same genus. Finding healthy concentrations of ash trees as well as outlier ash trees surrounded by unhealthy trees are two methods that could be used to detect ash trees that are most likely to survive EAB infestation. Both healthy outliers and groups of healthy trees were found. Furthermore, an analysis of total economic value loss was conducted to evaluate the economic effects EAB could have if ash trees in poor health are removed. The economic value lost from removal of parking lot shade ash trees over a three-year period from 2012-2015 was over $713,000. The high value of economic loss suggests that treating ash trees is more economically efficient than removing ash trees unless the trees become a safety hazard. It is recommended that healthy outlier ash trees as well as healthy groups of ash trees be treated and seeds be collected from these uniquely healthy ash trees. It is also recommended that ash trees located in urban (cultivated) areas also continue to be treated to assess survivorship and potential tolerance to EAB and to off-set replacement and removal costs and allow larger canopy trees to remain, due to their higher economic value, as long as possible in affected areas.
