Pre-epidemic mortality rates for common Phytophthora ramorum host tree species in California

TL;DRAbstract

Understanding the impacts of Phytophthora ramorum on forests will require knowledge of pre-disease distribution, abundance, and rates of change for affected species. This study estimated pre-epidemic mortality rates for nine common host tree species: bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum), California bay laurel (Umbellularia californica), California black oak (Quercus kelloggii), canyon live oak (Quercus chrysolepis), coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia), Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), madrone (Arbutus menziesii), coastal redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), and tanoak (Lithocarpus densiflorus) using inventory data
