Özet
The study showed some site and stand factors affecting host colonization, quantitative and qualitative losses in wood of oriental spruce as a source of raw material during the outbreak of Dendroctonus micans (Kug.). A total of 22.8 million m3 standing trees were damaged. In 11.43 million m 3 standing trees infestations were observed and 6.96 million m 3 of trees were cut which occupied 120,000 ha of D. micans infestation areas. In pure spruce stands, 26.5% of the trees were infested. There was no statistically significant difference among the volume of crowns, crown base height and ages in infested and healthy trees. There was a positive correlation between stand density and number of D. micans, and number of attacks inversely correlated with altitude. © 2009 Academic Journals.
