Download or read book Fungal Strategies of Wood Decay in Trees written by Francis W.M.R. Schwarze and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wood-destroying fungi play an important role in nature, because they are the only forms of life capable of reducing wood to its initial constituents. However, they can also be dangerous for people and property, as they can impair the stability and fracture-safety of trees. This book gives detailed information, based on new and original scientfic findings, on the examination and effects of the most important species of fungi associated with failure of infected urban trees. In addition, new ways are presented for predicting the advance of decay in the living tree. The subject is illustrated and made easily accessible by numerous colored photos of fungus fruit bodies, defect symptoms, and macroscopic and microscopic pictures of wood decay. A detailed introduction to the fundamentals of wood pathology provides a way into the subjects of applied mycology and tree care for readers without previous special knowledge. Francis W.M.R.

Download or read book A Photo Guide to the Patterns of Discoloration and Decay in Living Northern Hardwood Trees written by Alex L. Shigo and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: S2This guide has been prepared to help you estimate the extent and severity of discoloration and decay in northern hardwood trees. Though this certainly is not the last word on the subject, our research in this has progressed to the point where our findings, combined with the findings of others, can be put to practical use. By dissecting living trees and studying the organisms that infect them, we now know that discoloration and decay develop in certain definite patterns. And the patterns of discoloration and decay within the tree can be predicted from external signs. Discoloration and decay are the most serious defects of northern hardwood trees. In speaking of defect, we must distinguish between injury and damage. Injury harms the tree: damage lowers the quality of the wood. For example, a disease like vascular wilt may kill the tree but do no damage to the wood. But an insect like the cambium miner may do very little harm to the tree yet do great damage to the wood. The unseen damage done to a tree is important in the economics of forestry. Every operation in growing a tree, harvesting it, and converting it into products costs time and money. And after all the time and money have been spent on a tree, the product made from it may prove to be not worth the effort; and the tree might have been used more profitably for some other product that does not require high-quality wood. The increased use of veneer offers an illustration. A veneer log brings top prices. But its actual value may not become apparent till it is put on a lathe and peeled. A log that looks very good and sound to the core, may have minute streaks of discoloration scattered all through it, so that all the veneer it produces is badly streaked with defects. On the other hand, a log that has a rotten core surrounded by clear wood may produce the highest quality of veneer. So it is not so important how much discoloration and decay a tree has, but when these defects are in a tree. The pattern of the discoloration and decay- that's the important thing.S3.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is specifically designed to help those who diagnose diseases of trees to determine if the specific fungal disease found is known to lead to failures of limbs or trunks. Falling limbs and trunks can lead to injury of people or property, or can disrupt services. This book was written by several forest pathology experts at the University of Florida. It offers easy to understand text and clear full-color photographs and descriptions of 89 of the most common tree fungi found in Florida and the Southeast United States.

This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, unlike the three preceding it, represents the collected papers from an experiment with an "electronic symposium". Co-participators in this symposium included The George Washington University, The Smithsonian Institution, Clark Atlanta University, the Agriculture Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture, The University of Georgia, Morris Brown College, Spellman College, Morehouse College, North Carolina State University at Raleigh, The United States Food and Drug Administration, and the Forest Service of the United States Department of Agriculture among others. This unusual "electronic symposium" concept was developed by members of the Program, Planning and Organizing Committee as an alternative to the more costly convention-type symposium. As before, leading scientists in specific topic areas were invited to participate. Topic Session chairpersons were encouraged to arrange their own method of communication by telephone, electronic mail, or conference call, and report their findings back to the symposium center at The George Washington University. Additional papers were accepted from individuals and laboratories who are actively involved in relevant areas of research and study. Participation was also arranged for internationally established scientists. International authors are represented herein from Nigeria, Italy, Spain, Brazil and Argentina. Our goal was to present a research composite volume that reflected current developments, informed reviews, new and recently developing areas of the present state of knowledge as it relates to these proceeding topics. All of the reports included in this volume have undergone scientific, technical and editorial peer review.
