Quantifying growth losses induced by Nectria fungus in a natural beech stand situated at the eastern limit of the European area
Journal Title: Advances in Agriculture & Botanics - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2012, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper aims to briefly present the results of a study conducted on a sample surface located inside the reserve "secular Fagetul Humosu". The study highlights the growth losses occurred due to Nectria fungus attack. Statistics study was conducted on age and diameter classes. Thus it has been shown that growth losses due to attack of the fungus Nectria on big diameters are less significant than small diameters. This is a logical conclusion due to the large developpement of the foliar apparatus of the older trees.
