Timms and published by Library and Archives Canada = Bibliothèque et Archives Canada. This book was released on 2005 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, is a serious exotic pest of ash trees in North America. One of the greatest challenges facing its successful management is the ability to accurately detect it in a tree. The within-tree distributions of A. planipennis feeding galleries were described in relation to height-above-ground, stem diameter, bark thickness and stem aspect. Gallery distributions were bounded by a minimum stem diameter of approximately 5 cm, a minimum bark thickness of approximately 2 mm and a maximum height above ground of 7 m. Galleries were found most often on the southwest side of the tree. A maximum bark thickness of approximately 4.5 mm was observed in trees that had been attacked for only one year, but not in trees that had more than one year of attack. To increase the probability of detecting new A. planipennis infestations, initial searches should be made in trunk sections and branches with diameters of approximately 7 cm.

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.

Book excerpt: Evidence suggests that efforts to eradicate the Asian long-horned beetle appear likely to succeed, while the emerald ash borer and P. ramorum are likely to continue to infest and damage forest ecosystems indefinitely despite efforts to control them. The Asian long-horned beetle is a wood-boring insect from Asia that has caused separate infestations in parts of New York, New Jersey, and Illinois. Over 8,000 trees infested with the beetle have been removed, and over 600,000 trees have been chemically treated to protect against the beetle. As a result of these and other actions, federal and state agencies have been able to reduce the size of the infested areas. The emerald ash borer is also a wood-boring insect from Asia that has infested large areas in Michigan; Ohio; Indiana; and Ontario, Canada, killing an estimated 15 million trees. The pathogen P. ramorum is the causal agent of the disease known as Sudden Oak Death. It is of unknown origin and has infested large areas in central and northern coastal California and a small area in southern Oregon. This book examines these key environmental issues. This book is a fully-indexed excerpted version of a GAO report.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of exotic species is the inevitable consequence of an expanding global society that relies heavily on international trade of goods and services. These introduced species have negative effects on biodiversity and disrupt native communities. In fact, the spread of non-native species is the second greatest threat to the loss of biodiversity next to habitat destruction. The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Buprestidae), is a recent example of an exotic forest pest species. EAB completes its life cycle on ash trees (Fraxinus spp.) including larvae feeding on cambium tissue which interferes with water and nutrient translocation. Once ash trees become infested with EAB, mortality is>99%. This dissertation was initiated after EAB was discovered and attempts to understand how EAB affects long-term forest community dynamics in order to provide practical applied conservation strategies. These research projects are designed to identify the ecological impacts of EAB and to determine long-term community changes to native deciduous forests. The research objectives are: (1) to identify consequences of EAB eradication efforts, (2) to determine altered community composition under different disturbance intensities (tree removal management recommendations) and (3) to design effective ex situ conservation protocols for future ash tree preservation. EAB causes a disturbance to native forest by creating large light gaps through ash tree dieback; yet, EAB eradication efforts magnified the scale of disturbance through time and space which facilitated the establishment of invasive plant species. The tracked vehicles used during eradication also caused significant soil compaction. Management efforts applied to EAB-infested forests should prioritize appropriate tree removal techniques to minimize the disturbance to the surrounding community. Ash stands in close proximity to roads or edges, or near established invasive populations may benefit from proactive removal of invasive species. This research contributes to ash conservation efforts by providing a guideline for ex situ collection methods. By understanding diversity and spatial genetic structure of green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), a seed collection protocol has been constructed that optimizes the likelihood of capturing all alleles in a population while minimizing collection efforts. This cumulative research provides effective forest management recommendations and prioritizes ash conservation.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerald ash borer (EAB), a beetle from Asia that feeds on ash trees, was discovered as the cause of extensive ash mortality in southeast Michigan and adjacent areas of Canada in 2002. It is thought that this destructive pest was introduced in the early 1990's in infested solid wood packing material originating in Asia. Shortly after EAB was discovered in North America, federal and state regulatory agencies placed infested counties under quarantine and eradication activities were initiated. Due to the magnitude of the EAB infestation in North America, the potential for natural and artificial dispersal of EAB, limited EAB detection and control methods, and high costs, program objectives shifted away from eradication to containment and management of the pest. By March 2015, EAB infestations were known in twenty-five states (Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin) and two Canadian provinces (Ontario and Quebec). At present, the most sustainable and long-term approach to reducing EAB populations and conserving ash in forested areas of North America is biological control.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is an account of the scientific and social responses made to the discovery of an invasive forest insect -- the emerald ash borer or EAB (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, 1888) -- in North America, that was formally announced in July 2002. Since its recognition, this wood-boring beetle has become one of the most destructive and costly exotic species ever encountered. More than $300 million in federal USDA-APHIS funds (alone) have been devoted to battling this pest, which has killed some tens of millions of ash trees, chiefly within southeastern Michigan and surrounding states. EAB has now been found in 28 states and two Canadian provinces. But those numbers are almost certain to keep growing in coming years. While primarily a case study, this work nonetheless examines larger issues concerning invasive species as a whole, their inadvertent transport and worldwide spread through the rise of globalization, regulations that have been adopted to prevent their introduction, and the successes or failures of state and federal agencies to try and enforce those regulations. It offers the first general work of its kind to appear on the ash borer that is directed towards a broad audience including the public, entomologists and foresters, environmentalists and ecologists, researchers, regulators, and indeed anyone who wishes to learn more about this important and timely topic. No previous knowledge of EAB or invasion biology is assumed. This book covers all of the major aspects of scientific research and management that have occurred since EAB was recognized in 2002. It is thoroughly researched and draws from the best available data and sources, which represent (a) archival materials; (b) scholarly publications and conference proceedings; (c) interviews conducted with leading participants in the EAB program; (d) selected newspaper/magazine articles; and (e) reputable sources found on the Internet (e.g., USDA-APHIS).
