Abstract:
Damage to Japanese cedars caused by the sugi bark borer in plots with low, medium and high planting density (1,700, 3,200, and 7,300 trees/ha, respectively) was examined in a 20-year-old sugi plantation. Radial growth and annual ring-width at breast height of three trees sampled per plot were measured by stem analysis. Stand age when each pupal chamber formed on the sample trees by the borer was also investigated by sawing the trees. There was less damage in the high density plot than in the low density plot. Radial growth at breast height increased rapidly from the 7th year after planting in all plots. The width of the annual ring reached a maximum in the 9th or 10th year, and decreased gradually thereafter. Radial growth in the low density plot was larger than that in the high density plot. Pupal chambers were first observed in the 7th year. The number of pupal chambers increased yearly, reaching a maximum in the 12th or 13th year, and decreased rapidly thereafter. These results indicate that restriction of radial growth of trees in the juvenile period by high density planting can prevent infestation of the sugi bark borer.Keywords: Damage by the sugi bark borer; High density planting; Planting density; Thickening growth; Width of annual ring; Canopy; GPS, PDOP; Positioning accuracy; Walking in forested areas; Abandoned forests; Broad-leaved forests; Deciduous oak (Quercus serrata) forests; Fuelwood production; Shiitake mushroom (Lentinus edodes); Forest policy; Global warming; Japan; Sweden; United States; Bedrock groundwater; Hydrological process; NO3 − concentrations; Streamwater; Weathered granitic headwater catchment; Cutting; Defoliation; Disbudding; Pinus thunbergii; Rooting ability; Chlorophyll fluorescence; Drought stress; Photoinhibition; Photosystem II; Low-temperature stress; Photoinhibition; Photoprotective mechanisms; Xanthophyll cycle; Acid fog; Complex stress; Forest decline; Tree physiology; Aluminum toxicity; Environmental reforestation; Flooding; Phosphate deficiency; Problem soil; Environmental stress; Functional genomics; Poplar genome; Stress-related genes
