“…Of these dothistroma needle blight caused by Dothistroma septosporum (Doroguine) Morelet (Bulman et al 2013), cyclaneusma needle cast caused by Cyclaneusma minus (Butin) Di Cosmo, Peredo & Minter (Gadgil 1984) and the wood wasp Sirex noctilio Fabricius ) have caused damage to forests at some periods and in some locations in New Zealand. Each of these pests is now subject to active management, so resulting productivity losses are generally at acceptably low levels Bulman et al 2013).…”

“…A group of Australian foresters who visited New Zealand in December 1965 observed that P. radiata at 2000 to 4000 stems ha -1 at 15 years of age was heavily diseased, but a nearby area with much lower stocking was uninfected (Marks 1966). Reducing stand density by planting at a lower initial stocking, along with thinning, has been shown to reduce disease levels in several studies in Australia (Marks and Smith 1987;Marks et al 1989;Neumann et al 1993), Chile (Alzamora et al 2004), Kenya ), New Zealand (Van der Pas 1984Bulman et al 2013) and the USA (Van Haverbeke and Boldt 1968).…”

“…Decades of field observations from a number of countries have determined that disease levels tend to be high in gullies and low-lying areas where trees remain wet for prolonged periods (Marks et al 1989;Bulman et al, 2004;Brown and Webber 2008;Crisan et al 2015). The same effect is often seen where low clouds, or fog, sits on ridge tops.…”

“…In Britain, trained forestry professionals have performed regular DNB surveys of the public forest estate since 2006 (Brown and Webber 2008), and the data are used for planning local forest management tactics. In New Zealand, annual aerial DNB surveys are carried out to define a copper fungicide spray programme for disease control (Bulman et al 2004) and similar surveys occur in Australia (Smith et al 2008). The Département de la santé des forêts conducts forest health surveys in France and reports of an increase in DNB severity prompted research on disease management (Aumonier 2002;Piou et al 2015).…”

Summary Dothistroma needle blight (DNB) caused by Dothistroma septosporum and Dothistroma pini is a damaging disease of pine in many countries. The disease led to the abandonment of planting susceptible Pinus species in parts of Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe and North America. Although the disease can be effectively controlled using copper fungicides, this chemical is only routinely applied in forests in New Zealand and Australia. Other management tactics aimed at making conditions less favourable for disease development, such as thinning or pruning, may be effective on some, but not all, sites. Disease avoidance, by planting non‐susceptible species, is the most common form of management in Europe, along with deployment of hosts with strong disease resistance. Although D. septosporum is present almost everywhere Pinus is grown, it is important that an effort is maintained to exclude introductions of new haplotypes that could increase virulence or enable host resistance to be overcome. A global strategy to exclude new introductions of Dothistroma and other damaging forest pathogens, facilitated by collaborative programmes and legislation, is needed.

“…Dothistroma needle blight, caused by the fungal pathogens Dothistroma septosporum and D. pini, is a major disease of Pinus spp. worldwide (Bulman et al 2013). In many areas, there have been significant increases in outbreak frequency and the disease has recently expanded into new areas (Barnes et al 2008).…”

Florida’s Climate: Changes, Variations, &Amp; Impacts

Key Messages• Production forestry provides substantial benefits to the state of Florida, including the provision of ecosystem services, such as regulation of water quantity and quality, provision of wildlife habitat and carbon sequestration, and supporting 80,000 jobs and $16.34 billion/year in economic activity.• Climate through the end of the century in the production forestry regions of northern Florida and southern Georgia is predicted to warm from 1.5 °C to almost 3.5 °C, with small increases in annual precipitation, and elevated atmospheric CO 2 concentration. Models predict that these changes will result in substantial increases in potential loblolly pine and slash pine plantation productivity, ranging from 5-35% depending on emissions scenario, species, and location.• Forestry is unique in that it is one of the few industries that sequesters more carbon than it emits. There are opportunities to increase carbon sequestration for mitigation of atmospheric CO 2 through retention or expansion of forested areas, altered forest management, and the use of woody biomass for power generation in place of fossil fuels.• The frequency and intensity of abiotic disturbances, such as wildfire and windstorms, are likely to be affected by climate change; but predictions remain uncertain about the magnitude of change and their effects on the forest resource.• Research is underway to better understand how native forest pests and pathosystems may respond to changing climate. The movement of pests or pathogens into previously nonimpacted areas is of particular concern.• Plantation forests have been a vital part of protecting regional water quantity and quality, and they will continue to be essential features of healthy, productive landscapes as climate changes and the potential for adverse climate impacts on water resources increases.'• The key to adapting forest management to changing climate will be the considered application of silvicultural tools, such as competition control, density and fertility management, and proper choice of species for each site. Keeping abreast of research advances related to these tools will be increasingly important for forest managers as climate conditions change.• There are several viable policy options for harnessing forests to mitigate climate change and increasing forest resilience and adaptation to climate change. However, since 71% of Florida's forests are privately owned, policy options must align well with landowner needs to have adequate impact. Broadly speaking, policies that improve market conditions, reduce burdens (regulatory and economic), and increase economic sustainability for forest landowners would help protect Florida's existing forests and the benefits they provide, and would encourage investment in reforestation of existing forestland and planting new forests on previously unforested land.
