Sugar maple and nitrogen cycling in the forests of Eastern North America. (2004, background): “Reported declines in sugar maple on unglaciated sites in northwestern and north-central Pennsylvania have been tentatively attributed to an interaction of base cation nutrition with stresses such as insect defoliation (Horsley et al. 2002).”
Responses of insect pests, pathogens, and invasive plant species to climate change in the forests of northeastern North America: what can we predict? (2009, background): “…been previously associated with mortality of sugar maple affected by drought, insect defoliations, and nutrient deficiencies (Bauce and Allen 1992; Horsley et al. 2002); with oak species stressed by drought and gypsy moths (Clinton et al. 1993; Burrill et al. 1999); with an increased mortality in…”
Emergent insects, pathogens and drought shape changing patterns in oak decline in North America and Europe (2015, background): “For deciduous hardwoods, frost injury in winter can damage vascular tissues, and late spring frosts that follow bud burst can injure newly formed leaves or deplete carbon (C) reserves upon re-foliation (Horsley et al., 2002; Thomas et al., 2002; Frey et al., 2004).”
Influence of Edaphic Factors on Sugar Maple Nutrition and Health on the Allegheny Plateau (2004, unknown): “Knowledge of susceptible stands might be used by managers to evaluate the risk of sugar maple culture on marginal sites, or alternatively, of the possible benefits of insect suppression or fertilization to sugar maple health ( Horsley et al., 2002 ).”
Long-term calcium addition increases growth release, wound closure, and health of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) trees at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (2007, background): “…the hypothesis that alterations in mineral nutrition, particularly of base cations (Ca, Mg, Mn, and K), act as predisposing agents, weakening the ability of sugar maple to sense and respond to secondary abiotic or biotic stresses (Kolb and McCormick 1993; Horsley et al. 2002; Hallett et al. 2006).”
