Occurrence of root rot in spruce stands damaged by the spruce bark beetle

Abstract

Bakalaureusetöö Metsanduse õppekavalViimastel aastatel on eelkõige ilmastiku muutused mõjutanud kuuse-kooreüraski ja juurepessu intensiivsemat levikut Eesti kuusikutes, mille tagajärjel puud murduvad, heituvad või hukkuvad. Kahjustatud kuusikud paistavad juba kaugelt silma ja põhjustavad muret kuusikute tuleviku suhtes. Käesolevas töös uuriti kas kuuse-kooreüraskiga asustatud kuused on juurepessuga nakatunud. Analüüsiti kuuse-kooreüraski kahjustusega ja juurepessuga nakatunud puude seost ning võrreldi kas üraskikoldes asuvatel ja koldest kaugemal olevatel puudel on statistiline seos juurepessu esinemisega. Uuriti kas puu diameetrist sõltub juurepessu esinemise tõenäousus. Töö tulemustest selgus, et kuuse-kooreüraskiga ja juurepessuga nakatunud puude vahel ei ole statistiliselt olulist seost (p=0,7983). Lisaks selgus, et üraskikoldes asuvad puud ei ole juurepessu poolt rohkem nakatunud kui üraskikoldest kaugemal asuvad puud. Statistilise analüüsi põhjal puudub koldes ja koldest kaugemal olevatel kuuse-kooreüraskiga asustatud puudel seos juurepessu esinemisega (p>0,05). Sarnased tulemused leiti erinevates puutüvede diameetri klassides. Käesoleva töö tulemuste põhjal võib järeldada, et juurepessuga nakatunud kuused ei ole vastuvõtlikumad kuuse-kooreüraski rünnakule ning puud, mis kasvavad kolde sees või selle läheduses, ei ole sagedamini nakatunud juurepessuga.In recent years, changes weather has significantly affected the spread of the spruce bark beetle and root rot in Estonian spruce forests, causing more extensive damage to spruces. As a result, the trees break and fall. Spruces damaged by the spruce bark beetle are visible to people from a distance, raising many concerns about the future of Estonian spruce forests. This study investigates whether spruces colonized by the spruce bark beetle are also infected with root rot. The relationship between trees damaged by the spruce bark beetle and those infected with root rot was analysed and compares whether there is a statistical connection between root rot and trees located within or farther from a bark beetle outbreak site. Additionally, the study examines whether the probability of root rot occurrence depends on the tree's diameter. The results of the study reveal that there is no statistically significant relationship between trees infected with the spruce bark beetle and those infected with root rot (p=0,7983). In addition, it appears that trees located within a beetle outbreak area are not more susceptible to root rot than trees located farther from the outbreak. Statistical analysis shows no correlation between root rot and trees based on their proximity to the outbreak area (p>0.05). The same results were found across different tree diameter ranges. Based on the results, it can be concluded that spruces infected with root rot are not more susceptible to the spruce bark beetle, and trees located within or near the outbreak area are not more infected with root rot
