Methods

  • Current Methods
    • Soil population monitoring
      • Started: 1989-05-01
      • Method Description: Method 2. Soil populations are monitored using fall soil samples with forced emergence to estimate relative populations. Two bulb-planter soil samples are collected in the fall from 2 and 4 m from each of 5 selected sugar maple trees. Injury to foliage is recorded on associated trees.


  • Past Methods (no longer in use)
    • Adult population monitoring
      • Started: 1991-04-01
        Ended: 1991-06-13
      • Method Description: Method 1. Adult population levels are monitored weekly using 4 yellow sticky traps located at 3 feet above ground during flight period (April - June). Damage to sugar maple foliage is assessed using 8 trees.

Sampling Equipment

  • Current Equipment
    • Sticky traps, bulb planter
      • Started: 1989-05-01
      • Sampling Description: Yellow sticky traps. Bulb planter.

Site Characteristics

  • Site Description: West slope of Mt. Mansfield, in sugar maple stand at Proctor Maple Research Center, and at 3 elevations in the Stevensville Brook headwaters (1500, 2000, and 2500 feet) as part of the Forest Management Study.
