The Impacts of Ips sexdentatus on the Moisture Content of Anatolian Black Pine Trees
Öz
Insects interact with plants in direct or indirect way. The host
selection and host sensitivity especially in bark beetles are important in
terms of their population and potential. The sensitivity of host trees is important in beetle epidemic as serious
damages may be given to trees during epidemics. The current study, the moisture content of wooden samples taken from
Anatolian black pine trees that were damaged by Ips sexdentatus and
healty trees has been determined. A total of 174 samples was taken from 29
trees (58,6% from damaged trees, 41,4% from healthy trees). The average
moisture content of trees was 40,75% for damaged trees, and 32,68% for healthy
trees. The moisture content of these trees is significantly different and
invasions have negatively affected moisture content. There is no statistical
difference between the moisture content of samples taken from north and south
sides of damaged trees, however there is a difference among moisture contents
of samples from three different heights (1.30m, 3.30m, 5.30m), but indifferent
from north and south
