This is a concise and accurate diagnostic guide to practically all the diseases and disorders that affect both forest and amenity trees in Europe, including many that occur in other continents. The book is organized pragmatically, according to the part of the tree affected - separate chapters deal with other disorders such as leaf diseases, bark damage, and damage to woody tissues. Important trees are covered throughout northern Europe, as well as those scheduled for quarantine from outside Europe.
This is a concise and accurate diagnostic guide to practically all the diseases and disorders that affect both forest and amenity trees in Europe, including many that occur in other continents. The book is organized pragmatically, according to the part of the tree affected - separate chapters deal with leaf diseases, bark damage, damage to woody tissues, and so on. While the emphasis is on symptoms and causes of damage, information is also provided on the biology and economic significance of the causal agents, with notes on the prevention and control of the diseases. The many fine line illustrations complement the text and are a vital diagnostic tool. In this translation the essential features of the German text are retained, but both the text and illustrations have been modified to cover trees of importance elsewhere in northern Europe, as well as those scheduled for quarantine from outside Europe.
