Spatial pattern dynamics of oak mortality & disease symptoms

Kelly et al. 2008. Journal of Forest Research. We used two-dimensional spatial analysis tools with data gathered in point-centered-quarter format in 2001 and 2004 to quantify 1) population density of the disease through time; 2) spatial pattern of tree mortality across scales through time; and 3) spatial co-occurrence of disease symptoms with crown mortality through time.
