54 Affected part of the tree and location in crown

special cases to be coded

DEAD TREES have to be reported as follows:

affected part = 4 (see d_affectpart)
defoliation = 100% (see d_defoliation)

The death is reported in the first year when it is observed.

In general, no information is submitted in the succeeding years.

Only in case that in the succeeding years the reason (i.e. a biotic damage) may be found to be the reason for the tree’s dying, this damage should be submitted with the respective forms.

The cause of death should be reported in the column for the causal agent / factor (see d_cause).

NO SYMPTOMS at all are observed on any part of the tree:

affected part = 0 (see d_affectpart)

NO DAMAGE ASSESSMENT was conducted:

affected part = 9 (see d_affectpart)

IN ALL CASES DESCRIBED ABOVE FOLLOWING CODES SHOULD BE USED IN ADDITION

symptom = 99 (see d_symptom)
specification of symptom = 99 (see d_spec_symptom)
location in crown = 9 (see d_loccrown)
age of damage = 9 (see d_damage_age)
