Direct and Indirect Effects and the Long-term Risks of Air Pollution on Forest Ecosystems: A Call for Caution in Proper Diagnosis of Causes
1993
Skelly, J.M. (The Pennsylvania State University, (USA). Department of Plant Pathology)
Forest Scientists must recognize that numerous diseases and insect occurrences as well as more subtle environmental stresses are prevalent as causes of changes in forest health. Their interactions often lead to "natural" declines of individual tree species or site-species declines of multiple species. The role of air pollution should be carefully investigated in an integrative sense with these other endemic and sometimes epidemic outbreaks of biotic agents and environmental stresses.
