Abstract

This part of the book is concerned with damage caused to trees by a diverse range of nonliving agents. Some, including climatic and soil factors, are often (though not always) outside the direct influence of man. Others, including toxic chemicals such as atmospheric pollutants and herbicides, are produced largely as a result of man’s activities. It is important in times of increasing concern about the environment to remember that plants, including trees, can be damaged by natural forces as well as by pollution in its general sense.
