Pathological anatomy of needles of Pinus strobus exposed to carbon-filtered air or to three times ambient ozone concentrations, or infected by Canavirgella banfieldii
Wenner NG and Merrill W. 1998. Pathological anatomy of needles of Pinus strobus exposed to carbon-filtered air or to three times ambient ozone concentrations, or infected by Canavirgella banfieldii. Canadian Journal of Botany. 76:1331-1339
Compared the damage done to needles by ozone with the damage to needles affected by the syndrome 'semimature-tissue needle blight' which is associated the presence of the fungus Canavirgella banfieldii. Used needle samples from Acadia National Park and sites in Vermont, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and other parts of Maine. Includes black and white microscope photographs of sections taken from damaged and healthy needles.
