Structure and diversity of a natural temperate sessile oak (Quercus petraea L.) – European Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forest (2012, background): “Despite of oak decline in Europe in the past decades, caused by a complex interaction of abiotic and biotic factors (Thomas et al., 2002), the oak species might have an important role in European forests in the future, particularly in their natural range.”
European oak powdery mildew: impact on trees, effects of environmental factors, and potential effects of climate change (2012, background): “The disease is now well established but in spite of its frequent occurrence, its impact has often been considered as minor, except in a few situations (Delatour 1983; Thomas et al. 2002).”
Endophytes vs tree pathogens and pests: can they be used as biological control agents to improve tree health? (2019, background): “Thomas et al. (2002) Gagen et al. (2019) Mitchell et al. (2019) Bacterium Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri Citrus cultivars (canker) Distinct raised, necrotic lesions on fruits, stems and leaves.”
Antagonistic activity of endophytic fungi towards Diplodia corticola assessed by in vitro and in planta tests (2007, background): “Biotic factors include the endophytic community associated with oak trees consisting of numerous saprophytic fungi belonging to the genera Acremonium, Cytospora, Epicoccum, Fusarium, Alternaria, Sclerotinia and Trichoderma (Anselmi et al., 2002; Ragazzi, Morricca, Vagniluca, & Dellavalle 1996) and p”
Emergent insects, pathogens and drought shape changing patterns in oak decline in North America and Europe (2015, background): “, in Europe, and A. bilineatus (Weber) in North America, are usually the first secondary insects to arrive and are the most important final contributors to oak mortality (Millers et al., 1989; Wargo, 1996; Moraal and Hilszczański, 2000; Thomas et al., 2002).”
Radial growth responses to drought of Pinus sylvestris and Quercus pubescens in an inner-Alpine dry valley (2007, background): “Because of their ringporous wood anatomy, Quercus species are susceptible to winter and spring frosts (Cochard & Tyree 1990; Thomas et al. 2002), and Quercus seedlings have been found to be particularly damaged by late frost (Chaar & Colin 1999).”
Climate change and forest diseases (2011, background): “cinnamomi was identified as a primary pathogen (Manion & Lachance, 1992; Thomas et al., 2002).”
Species-specific climate sensitivity of tree growth in Central-West Germany (2009, background): “…decades (Schär et al. 2004 Christensen et al. 2007) on temperate forest growth remains complicated because of the influence of external factors, such as potential increases in water use efficiency (Leuzinger and Körner 2007) and increasing occurrence of defoliating insects (Thomas et al. 2002).”
Role of an opportunistic pathogen in the decline of stressed oak trees (2006, background): “1985; Wargo & Harrington 1991; Houston 1992), they have also been considered as minor components of declines that were mainly related to tree ageing, location on inadequate sites, or pollution (Becker & Lévy 1982; Mueller-Dombois 1992; Landmann et al. 1993; Thomas et al. 2002; Frey et al. 2004).”
Distribution, impact and rate of spread of emerald ash borer Agrilus planipennis (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) in the Moscow region of Russia (2013, background): “A range of factors can induce stress in trees, making them more susceptible to attack by wood-boring insects, including abiotic factors, such as drought, water-logging and severe frost, and biotic factors, such as defoliation and disease (Wargo, 1996; Thomas et al., 2002).”
European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) dieback - a conservation biology challenge. (2013, background): “cies, respectively (Brasier, 1991; Jung et al., 2000; Thomas et al., 2002; Brasier et al., 2004).”
