“…We observed fungal staining in destructively harvested trees, but the fungus was neither quantiÞed nor identiÞed. X. crassiusculus was trapped in large numbers by using ethanol-baited traps in this and two other studies (Kovach andGorsuch 1985, Oliver andMannion 2001;Table 3) in addition to our study, possibly because these studies also used ethanol lures. Because of its propensity to attack and kill living trees (Atkinson et al 1988b), which may at times emit ethanol (Kimmerer and Kozlowski 1982) and the apparent expansion of its range to the PaciÞc Northwest (ODA 1999), X. crassiusculus is a potentially serious pest of nursery stock, fruit orchards, and ornamental trees throughout North America (Kovach and Gorsuch 1985, Atkinson et al 1988b, Mizell et al 1994, Oliver and Mannion 2001.…”

“…californicus was Þrst reported in South Carolina in the early 1990s (Vandenberg et al 2000), and it was caught in 2003 and 2004 (Table 2). We caught X. californicus and A. rubricollis in relatively large numbers considering reports of its capture are few (Kovach 1986, Oliver and Mannion 2001, Grant et al 2003; Table 3). Other species, including Micracisella nanula (LeConte), Pityogenes hopkinsi Swaine, and X. californicus were only captured in one other southeastern U.S. study, and E. validus and X. impressus (recognized as a synonym of X. ferrugineus since 1960; Rabaglia 2005) were not reported elsewhere (Table 3).…”

In spring 2002, ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) infested an intensively managed 22-ha tree plantation on the upper coastal plain of South Carolina. Nearly 3,500 scolytids representing 28 species were captured in ethanol-baited traps from 18 June 2002 to 18 April 2004. More than 88% of total captures were exotic species. Five species [Dryoxylon onoharaensum (Murayama), Euwallacea validus (Eichhoff), Pseudopityophthorus minutissimus (Zimmermann), Xyleborus atratus Eichhoff, and Xyleborus impressus Eichhoff]) were collected in South Carolina for the Þrst time. Of four tree species in the plantation, eastern cottonwood, Populus deltoides Bartram, was the only one attacked, with nearly 40% of the trees sustaining ambrosia beetle damage. Clone ST66 sustained more damage than clone S7C15. ST66 trees receiving fertilization were attacked more frequently than trees receiving irrigation, irrigation ϩ fertilization, or controls, although the number of S7C15 trees attacked did not differ among treatments. The study location is near major shipping ports; our results demonstrate the necessity for intensive monitoring programs to determine the arrival, spread, ecology, and impact of exotic scolytids.

The implications of American chestnut reintroduction on landscape dynamics and carbon storage

et al. 2017

Abstract. In the eastern United States, American chestnut (Castanea dentata) was historically a major component of forest communities, but was functionally extirpated in the early 20th century by an introduced pathogen, chestnut blight (Cryphonectria parasitica). Because chestnut is fast-growing, long-lived, and resistant to decay, restoration of American chestnut using blight-resistant stock could have the potential to increase carbon sequestration or storage in forested landscapes. However, carbon dynamics are also affected by interspecific competition, succession, natural disturbance, and forest management activities, and it is unknown how chestnut restoration might interact with these other processes. We used the PnETSuccession extension of the LANDIS-II forest landscape model to study the implications of chestnut restoration on forest composition and carbon storage in the context of other disturbances, including timber harvest and insect pest outbreaks. Our results imply that it could take a millennium or more for chestnut to fully occupy landscapes without aggressive restoration efforts. When successful, chestnut restoration activities displaced other species approximately in proportion to their abundance on the landscape, rather than replacing a single species or genus (e.g., Quercus). Insect pests increased the rate of chestnut colonization by reducing the abundance of competitors, and also had a dominant effect on carbon dynamics. Although chestnut is fast-growing, moderately shade-tolerant, and decomposes very slowly, our results suggest that it can only modestly increase the carbon storage potential of eastern forests. However, our results also demonstrate that compositional changes in forest communities can have noticeable effects on biomass accumulation, even with the large uncertainties introduced by invasive pests.
