Jane From: Rick Whitman=20 Sent: Monday, July 21, 2014 10:53 AM To: naturens=20 Subject: [NatureNS] Hurricane Arthur's Impact on Tree Foliage We had a bit of discussion on this earlier. I spent Saturday & Sunday in = Yarmouth & Shelburne Co's, primarily out along the coast. The marginal = damage as leaf browning was easily seen at many locations and on many = yard trees near the coast. I decided to photograph what were, for me, = about the extremes seen. It does appear that maples, horse chestnut and = Japanese knotweed (lol) were particularly susceptible but out along the = coast you could see some "burning" on almost everything.=20 I've uploaded a photo of maple trees on the main road in Clark's = Harbour, CSI. At that particular point, there was nothing behind the = house but low grass down to the ocean, facing W of course. I had already = concluded that maples were showing about the worst impact. Note browning = on the background vegetation between the two houses too. The spruce tree is at Hemeon Head, on the W side of the Head going down = to Black Point Beach, very exposed but not right on the ocean. If you = look closely you'll see similar browning on most of the spruce in the = background. The damage is remarkably one-sided. http://rickwhitman.smugmug.com/Nature/Glory-Photos/25057548_TGdsjQ#!i=3D3= 401646401&k=3DNV6XVN8 Rick Whitman ------=_NextPart_000_02AF_01CFA5AF.8094A9C0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <HTML><HEAD></HEAD> <BODY dir=3Dltr> <DIV dir=3Dltr> <DIV style=3D"FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000"> <DIV>Every part of the shoreline that we=E2=80=99ve seen, in HRM both = south and east of=20 the city, since Arthur, has shown the brown leaf damage.</DIV> <DIV>Jane</DIV> <DIV=20 style=3D'FONT-SIZE: small; TEXT-DECORATION: none; FONT-FAMILY: = "Calibri"; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; COLOR: #000000; FONT-STYLE: normal; = DISPLAY: inline'> <DIV style=3D"FONT: 10pt tahoma"> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV style=3D"BACKGROUND: #f5f5f5"> <DIV style=3D"font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A=20 title=3Ddendroica.caerulescens@gmail.com=20 href=3D"mailto:dendroica.caerulescens@gmail.com">Rick Whitman</A> </DIV> <DIV><B>Sent:</B> Monday, July 21, 2014 10:53 AM</DIV> <DIV><B>To:</B> <A title=3Dnaturens@chebucto.ns.ca=20 href=3D"mailto:naturens@chebucto.ns.ca">naturens</A> </DIV> <DIV><B>Subject:</B> [NatureNS] Hurricane Arthur's Impact on Tree=20 Foliage</DIV></DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV></DIV> <DIV=20 style=3D'FONT-SIZE: small; TEXT-DECORATION: none; FONT-FAMILY: = "Calibri"; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; COLOR: #000000; FONT-STYLE: normal; = DISPLAY: inline'> <DIV dir=3Dltr>We had a bit of discussion on this earlier.
