Hard Mast Production Before and After the Chestnut Blight. Diamond, S. J., Giles, R. H. J., Kirkpatrick, R. L., & Griffin, G. J. Southern Journal of Applied Forestry, 2000. ![Hard Mast Production Before and After the Chestnut Blight. [pdf]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/pdf.svg "pdf")
Paper abstract bibtex We estimated hard mast production of a Southern Appalachian forest for two 10 year intervals: one before and one, 35 years after, the chestnut blight fungus (Cryphonectria parasitica) (Murr.) Barr, had killed all mature chestnut trees. The basal area of hard mast-producing trees in the postblight forest was 28% less than in the preblight forest. The estimate of hard mast output was 34% less after the chestnut blight. Postblight production was less than preblight production for 8 of 10 years. During 5 of these years, postblight production was only 5-27% of preblight production. Annual preblight mast production was relatively stable, whereas annual postblight production fluctuated substantially. Our findings suggest that the loss of mature chestnuts (Castanea dentata) markedly reduced the Southern Appalachian forest's carrying capacity for certain wildlife species.
