Understory vegetation in old-growth and second-growth Tsuga canadensis forests in western Massachusetts (2009, background): “As a result, studies 14 characterizing the floristic composition of the understory layer prior to HWA infestation will 15 serve as an important baseline for monitoring the response of these ecosystems to this novel 16 disturbance (Small et al. 2005; Eschtruth et al. 2006, Cleavitt et al. 2008).”
Multi-year ecosystem response to hemlock woolly adelgid infestation in southern New England forests (2008, unknown): “Nees), and oak (Quercus) species (Orwig and Foster 1998; Small et al. 2005; Stadler et al. 2005; Eschtruth et al. 2006).”
Ecology of forest insect invasions (2017, background): “…composition such as hemlock woolly adelgid causing an increase of trees and shrubs other than hemlock, including some invasive non-native species (Small et al. 2005), (ii) temporary or ongoing decline of forest fauna (e.g., Brooks 2001), and (iii) changes in forest ecosystem processes and the…”
A foundation tree at the precipice: Tsuga canadensis health after the arrival of Adelges tsugae in central New England (2012, background): “With continued HWA feeding we expect hemlock regeneration to decline and eventually disappear and diversity and cover of understory species to exhibit large increases (Orwig 2002, Small et al. 2005, Eschtruth et al. 2006, Spaulding and Rieske 2010, Preisser et al. 2011).”
Restoration of threatened species: a noble cause for transgenic trees (2007, background): “…species of hemlock are relatively resistant, both the eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) and the less common Carolina hemlock (Tsuga caroliniana) are susceptible, and the adelgid has already caused extensive damage and mortality of these species in the mid-Atlantic region (Small et al. 2005).”
Ecological effects of invasive alien insects (2008, background): “…the balsam woolly adelgid, A. piceae, and the hemlock woolly adelgid, A. tsugae, are threatening unique forest ecosystems in eastern ) on a large scale, so that they are gradually replaced by other tree species (e.g. Smith and Nicholas 2000; Jenkins 2003; Small et al. 2005; Weckel et al. 2006).”
