Dear collegues

I was impressed with the account that Hisao Fuji of the Forestry and Forest
Products Research Institute
in Ibaraki, Japan gave to this list on 19 May. His posting clearly set out
the thorough research that went into the problem of foliage discoloration
and forest health decline. It looked as well for causal relationships.
His posting is one of the best I have seen on this list on the issue of
forest health. Good research is being conducted in Europe as well. I find it
let's say amusing that the reaction from the USA is a reaction of "it will
be frost damage", "most likely salt damage, winterburn". No scientific
account like Hisoa Fuji.
So what is going on in the USA? If industrialized nations in Europe and Asia
get forest health problems why do the foresters in the USA do not see the
decline in their backyard? Apart from people like gerry Hawkins.
