Root-Infecting Fungi Associated with a Decline of Longleaf Pine in the Southeastern United States
A thirty-five year old longleaf pine stand exhibited trees in various stages of decline. A study was conducted to determine root-infecting fungi and other abnormalities associated with varying degrees of crown symptom severity. Leptographium procerum and Leptographium terebrantis were significantly associated with increasing crown symptom severity. Heterobasidion annosum was also isolated in higher frequency as crown symptoms increased.
