Stemflow was collected from live and dead trees of trembling aspen, largetooth aspen, and maple from a mixed deciduous forest in Chalk River, Ontario, for each rain event occurring between May and August, 1984. The data showed that the chemistry of dead-tree stemflow is qualitatively different from that of live trees, with dead-tree stemflow contributing very large proportions of the total amounts of nitrate and phosphate available within the system. Given the increasing mortality of these tree species in the Chalk River area, dead-tree stemflows may assume major importance in influencing nutrient cycling of nitrogen and phosphorus within the forest.

Leaf Level

A  multi-layer model (FORUG) was developed, to simulate the canopy  photosynthesis of a mixed deciduous forest during the growing season.  Measured photosynthesis parameters, for beech (Fagus  sylvatica), oak (Quercus  robur) and ash (Fraxinus  excelsior), were used as input to the model. This  information at the leaf level is then scaled up to the level of the canopy,  taking into account the radiation profiles (diffuse and direct PAR) in the  canopy, the vertical LAI distribution, the evolution of the LAI and the  photosynthesis parameters during the growing season, and the temperature  dependence of the latter parameters.

Abstract During a regular survey of declining forests in 2011, sudden dieback symptoms were observed on scattered wild cherry trees (Prunus avium) in a mixed deciduous forest stand, located in the flood plain area of the Rába River, in northwest Hungary. In this study, we correlated both soil conditions and presence of Phytophthora spp. to dieback of cherry trees. Two Phytophthora species, P. polonica and P. plurivora, were isolated from the rhizosphere soil of the dying trees. By contrast, only P. polonica was recovered from the necrotic tissues of symptomatic roots. Stem and root inoculation tests on cherry seedlings showed pathogenicity of both species, although P. polonica proved to be more virulent. This is the first report of natural infections of P. polonica.
