  2. Girdling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girdling

    The practice of girdling has been known in Europe for some time. [4] Another example is the girdling of selected Douglas-fir trees in some Northern California oak woodlands, such as Annadel State Park, in order to prevent that Douglas-fir from massive invasion of the mixed oak woodland. [5] Girdling can be used to create standing dead wood, or ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oncideres_cingulata

    This beetle is widely known for the damage it causes to pecan plantations, but also to lumber trees such as hickory, oak, poplar and elm. In late summer and fall, the adult female girdles small branches, 1 ⁄ 4-to-1 ⁄ 2-inch (6.4 to 12.7 mm) diameter, with its mandibles, cutting through the bark and into the wood. The resulting effect looks ...

    Trees play a significant role in reducing erosion and moderating the climate. They remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store large quantities of carbon in their tissues. Trees and forests provide a habitat for many species of animals and plants. Tropical rainforests are among the most biodiverse habitats in the world.

  6. Bridge graft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_graft

    This damage is often caused by rodents and lagomorphs, stripping and girdling the tree. The inability to transport sugars causes stored nutrients to deplete, resulting in the plant's death. A bridge graft uses scions to 'bridge' the gap. Each scion is taper cut to match the cambium layers of the scion with those of the tree to which it is being ...

  7. Oemona hirta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oemona_hirta

    Trees will have excretion holes measuring 1–3 mm (0.039–0.118 in), with frass visible on the outside. [32] As the larva tunnels through the living branches of young hardwood trees and vines, the stems weaken, dry and break. This reduces the plants health rapidly, or even killing the tree over time if there is a manifestation.

    Metrosideros robusta, commonly known as the northern rātā, is a forest tree endemic to New Zealand.It grows up to 25 metres (82 ft) or taller, and usually begins its life as a hemiepiphyte high in the branches of a mature forest tree; over centuries the young tree sends descending and girdling roots down and around the trunk of its host, eventually forming a massive, frequently hollow ...
