Abstract
With an occurring shift in the tree species distribution, European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) is becoming a perspective for forestry in the Baltics and Latvia in particular, despite presumed occurrence outside the natural distribution range. In 2023, a survey of European beech plantations established in 2020 in the central region of Latvia revealed that 13% of saplings had decline symptoms—branch dieback and top dieback in beech saplings, often accompanied by browning of leaves. An endophytic and anthracnose-causing ascomycete, Apiognomonia errabunda, was isolated from shoots of symptomatic beech saplings and potentially associated with the observed symptoms. Accordingly, this is the first molecularly approved report of this fungus in Latvia.
期刊介绍：
This peer reviewed, highly specialized journal covers forest pathological problems occurring in any part of the world. Research and review articles, short communications and book reviews are addressed to the professional, working with forest tree diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, nematodes, viruses, and phytoplasms; their biology, morphology, and pathology; disorders arising from genetic anomalies and physical or chemical factors in the environment. Articles are published in English.
Fields of interest: Forest pathology, effects of air pollution and adverse environmental conditions on trees and forest ecosystems.
