| Popis: | Ten years after a logging operation, eight kinds of logging wounds (four made by skidders and four made by falling trees) persisted on residual eastern white pine, 55-80 years old at the time of logging. Forty percent of wounds had advanced decay and 90% had wood stains (some of which represented incipient decay) associated with them. Skidder scrapes that extended to the ground and broken tops were the most frequent entrance courts for wood-decay fungi. The largest average decay columns, 2.9% of gross merchantable volumes, were present in trunk scrapes resulting from trees that had fallen against residual trees. Haematostereum sanguinolentum and Coniophora puteana were the most frequent causes of wound decay. |
