Ice storm damage: Effects of competition and fertilization on the growth of sugar maple trees

Abstract: Treatment plots in blocks established in productive sugar maple (Acer saccharum) bushes throughout southeastern Ontario were used to quantify effects of fertilizers, vegetation control and interactions on maple growth following the 1998 ice storm. Treatments were applied during the spring of 1999. Increment cores from six mature sugar maple trees in each plot in each block were extracted and examined during October 2001. Maple growth was highly variable before the storm, but fell to a 30-year low during both t… Show more

“…Canopy loss of 80 percent resulted in a 50-percent reduction of growth. A supplementary combination of understory mistblowing and fertilization (phosphorus, potassium, and lime) did not signifi cantly increase the short-term responses (Lautenschlager et al 2003b). After another fertilization experiment, ice-damaged sugar maple trees given P and K had a 22-percent and 15-percent increase in basal area increment, respectively, during the second and third growing season (Timmer et al 2003).…”

“…Preliminary growth analysis from these sample trees, based on increment core borings taken at stem breast height, found significant increases in basal area increment in the second (22%) and third (15%) year after PK fertilization, but no effect by the dolomitic lime treatments (Lautenschlager et al 2003). Combined P, K and lime applications did not improve on the growth response.…”
