Abstract:
... The traditional wood industry has gone through an important crisis over recent years due to a decline in demand for certain traditional products coupled with a decreased demand due to competing developing economies, among others. In this context, the production of high value-added products and the exploration of new markets could promote the transition to a more resilient forest industry. One of t ...

Abstract:
... Hymenochaete cruenta is a saprotrophic fungus, grown mainly on the bark of dead branches and trunks of Abies trees and thus the distribution of this fungus in Poland and other European countries is closely connected with natural range of silver fir. Despite its wide range, H. cruenta is considered as rare in the whole area of its occurrence. In this paper, we present a new locality of H. cruenta, ...

This bacterium produces a syringomycin toxin that kills plant tissue. Gene expression of this toxin is influenced by tissue nitrogen content. Previous studies reported that a high C/N ratio favored bacterial canker development in peach. ...

Abstract:
... Phytophthora ramorum has caused extensive dieback and mortality of commercially grown Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi) in many parts of the UK, as infected foliage generates spores that then cause bark lesions and girdling cankers on trees. Following inoculation, individual needles of Japanese, European (L. decidua) and hybrid (L. × eurolepis) larch infected with P. ramorum can produce thousands o ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Polynomial taper models are the tree profile equation types that are most commonly used to describe stem profiles of New Zealand radiata pine (Pinus radiata D.Don). Among these equations are model forms that include an upper stem diameter measurement as a predictor. Such taper functions may be more costly to use given the need to measure the additional stem diameter. Therefore, it is i ...

Cankers were observed on trunks and branches, where brown-to-black exudates staining appeared on the bark mainly in the summer. The causative agent, a bacterium was first reported in California (Wilson et al., 1957 ...

They are therefore vital for promoting biodiversity in forest ecosystems. The occurrence of such tree microhabitats in forest stands is closely related to forest management. In Central European cultural landscapes ...

Abstract:
... In 2015, cankers were observed on tree bark of Terminalia mantaly in Taiwan. A fungus with orange mycelium was consistently isolated and was identified as Aurifilum marmelostoma based on the morphological characteristics and two genetic markers: internal transcribed spacer and β-tubulin gene regions. The fungus produced similar canker symptoms after inoculation of T. mantaly and T. catappa seedlin ...

Abert's squirrels feed primarily on the inner bark of ponderosa pine branches, as well as the tree's seeds and the hypogenous fungi associated with ponderosa pines. Abert's squirrels require interlocking tree canopies for escape cover and for feeding, particularly in winter months wh ...

Abstract:
... The application of static terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) in forest inventories is becoming more effective. Nevertheless, the occlusion effect is still limiting the processing efficiency to extract forest attributes. The use of a mobile laser scanner (MLS) would reduce this occlusion. In this study, we assessed and compared a hand-held mobile laser scanner (HMLS) with two TLS approaches (single s ...
