Analysis reveals loss factors related to forest damage in mature white pine stands, suggesting new silvicultural strategies.
The science of forest pathology has reached a point where it must emphasize the forest instead of the pathology, and must attack its problems from a silvicultural point of view and in terms of the mature stand of surviving trees instead of diseased and dead trees. The author develops one aspect--forest damage--of such a mode of approach, using the results from a study of eight plots to give the loss factor.
