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).”
The impact of Sirex noctilio in Pinus resinosa and Pinus sylvestris stands in New York and Ontario (2010, background): “North America has a lengthy history of invasive species introductions that have changed the composition, structure, and functionality of forested ecosystems (Liebhold et al. 1995; Orwig 2002; Haack 2006).”
Effects of landscape heterogeneity on the emerging forest disease sudden oak death (2007, background): “New reports of introduced plant diseases and their effects emerge continually, and are likely to become more frequent as global trade increases (Gilbert 2002; Orwig 2002).”
How common are invasion-induced ecosystem impacts? (2011, background): “Even though the changes on the whole are not well understood, ecosystems changed greatly (Orwig 2002).”
Ecosystem transformation by emerging infectious disease: loss of large tanoak from California forests (2012, background): “Many species are obligates on these overstorey trees, and the loss of these hosts poses a direct threat to local or regional biodiversity (Orwig 2002; Ellison et al. 2005; Rizzo, Garbelotto & Hansen 2005; Loo 2009;Wardle et al. 2011).”
Ecological impacts of non-indigenous invasive fungi as forest pathogens (2008, background): “These introductions have greatly reduced the frequency and relative dominance of at least seven eastern North American native tree species (Orwig 2002; Liebhold et al. 1995).”
Multi-year ecosystem response to hemlock woolly adelgid infestation in southern New England forests (2008, background): “Hemlock has no apparent resistance to HWA and has not yet shown the ability to recover from chronic infestations (McClure 1995; Orwig and Foster 1998; Orwig 2002b).”
Emerging diseases in European forest ecosystems and responses in society. (2011, background): “New diseases in forest ecosystems have been reported at an increasing rate over the last century [1].”
