Abstract

Does forest land subjected to intensive outbreaks of gypsy moth (Lymantria &par L.) become less susceptible to defoliation?A model for estimating the likelihood of gypsy moth defoliation has been developed and validated.It was applied to forest-inventory plot data lo quantify trends in the susceptibility of forest land in south-central Pennsylvania during a period of intensive infestation.Results show that even though susceptibility of the region's forest apparently has declined, the potential for future defoliation remains relatively high.
