Ice storm damage: Effects of competition and fertilization on near-ground vegetation

Abstract: Increasing ice damage to tree canopies led to increased cover of near-ground deciduous tree species, herbaceous species, and total vegetative cover but reduced fern cover in managed sugar maple stands in southeastern Ontario. Near-ground vegetation did not respond to the addition of fertilizers [2000 kg/ha of dolomitic lime, 200 kg/ha of both phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), or both lime and P and K]. Vegetation management with glyphosate in these stands reduced near-ground deciduous tree cover 86%, while gra… Show more

“…Since amino acids are thought to be the compounds that impart the maple taste to maple syrup (Morselli andWhalen 1986 as cited in Koelling andHeiligmann 1996), the lack of an effect of the lime and fertilizer treatments on the total amino acid content of the sap was of particular interest to maple syrup producers. If any of the lime and P and K treatments are found to enhance recovery sugar maple from crown damage (Lautenschlager et al 2003, Timmer et al 2003 this result suggests that such treatments could be used in the future with no effect on the taste or quality of the syrup. However, sugar maple response to liming treatments is a long-term phenomenon (Long et al 1997) and it is too early to make any definitive conclusions on liming treatment effects.…”
