• Stress into the future
• Growth loss, stem form
• Crown dieback
• Root dieback
• Death (especially newly planted)

4. Drought Impacts on forests
• Forests are resilient.• Forests are more than just trees.• The resource is the site, trees are the crop.

Drought Impacts on forestsStress continues into the future. (don’t add more stress!)Off-site species, thin soils, restricted rooting, sandy gravelly soils, poorly managed stands will all see greater impact from drought stress.

5. What you should know
• Monitor, don’t jump to conclusions.
• Seek qualified advice for things you don’t know.
• Best advice is to keep forests healthy and properly managed.
• Take a long-term perspective.

What you should know:
• Don’t add more stress!!!
Green (live branches) pruning,
any activity that: compacts the soil, removes organic matter, removes nutrition, allows wind to blow through and dry out your stand…..
