Rentch J, Fajvan MA, Evans RA, Onken B. 2009. Using dendrochronology to model hemlock woolly adelgid effects on eastern hemlock growth and vulnerability. Biological Invasions. 11(3):551-563
This study examined the relationship between eastern hemlock crown condition and changes in radial growth associated with infestation by hemlock woolly adelgid. Data were collected from 81 study plots located in 6 distinct hemlock forest stands over an 11 year period in Delaware Water Gap NRA.
