Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ohia Forest Decline: Its Spread and Severity in Hawaii Thousands of acres of ohia and ohia-koa rain for est on the windward slopes of the island of Hawaii are suffering a severe epidemic. A high proportion of the trees have died on thousands of acres, and the forest decimation is continuing. The epidemic is affecting all ages of trees and forests on widely different sites. The specific cause (or causes) of the forest decline is not known, although both disease organisms and insects have been found associated with the dead and dying trees. Scientists from several agencies are using a multi disciplinary approach to investigate the problem. This paper deals with the determination of the extent, rate of spread, and severity of the forest decline.
