This book was released on 1974 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ohia forest decline-its severity and rate of spread-was studied by aerial photographic techniques on a 197,000-acre (80,000-ha) portion of the island of Hawaii. In 1954, only 300 acres (121 ha) showed signs of severe decline; by 1972, the acreage of severely affected forest had increased to 85,200 acres (34,480 ha). Rate of decline and current severity were related to mean annual precipitation and to elevation. The epidemic is continuing. Some forests on other Hawaiian islands also display decline symptoms.

This book was released on 1975 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multivariate regression analysis was used to explore the relationship of weather and tree growth to the average volume of Abies concolor sawtimber killed annually by fir engraver (Scolylus ventralis Lec.) and roundheaded fir borer (Tetropiurn abietis Fall) beetles. Data for the years 1944 to 1954 from 22 plots in northern California showed that white fir mortality increased in years when (a) fir radial growth during the cunent and previous 2 years declined an average of 2.5 percent per year, (b) precipitation during the current and previous years averaged 11 percent below normal, or (c) spring precipitation averaged 32 percent below normal. Levels of mortality were related chiefly to regional fluctuations in radial growth of dominant and intermediate fir.

Download or read book Using Indicator Plants to Assess Susceptibility of California Red Fir and White Fir to the Fir Engraver Beetle written by George T. Ferrell and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a Vegetation Drought Index (VDI) for estimating the susceptibility of California red and white firs to the fir engraver beetle (Scolytus ventralis) was evaluated in northern California forests where these true firs (Abies species) occur in mixed conifer and true fir stands. Midway through the summer drought, true fir moisture stress-a known predisposing factor-was highest on sites with highest VDI values (most xeric). In mixed conifer stands, the susceptibility of white firs-as indicated by the mean percentage of their basal area killed annually-was highest on sites with highest VDI values. But in true fir stands, the susceptibility of mixed red and white firs was highest on sites with the lowest VDI values. Regression models with VDI, stand basal area, and percentage of true fir as regressors lacked the required predictive range and precision, suggesting that VDI will likely have to be used in combination with predictors other than, or in addition to, those analyzed.
