During moderate defoliation‚ 31-50% of the tree is effected and causes foliage loss‚ there is a low mortality rate. When heavy defoliation occurs more than 50% of the tree is effected‚ tree death can occur in hemlock‚ spruce‚ and pine. Trees that are deciduous can take a heavy year of defoliation and be okay. When there is reoccurring defoliation‚ twigs and branches can dieback as well as tree death. Death can happen when there are other problems going on such as shallow soils‚ drought‚ and defoliation

Red soils develop in a warm‚ temperate‚ wet climate under deciduous forests and have thin organic and mineral layers overlying a yellowish-brown leached layer resting on red layer made of iron oxide(ferric oxide). Red soils generally form from iron-rich sediments. They are usually poor growing soils‚ low in nutrients and humus and difficult to cultivate. These soils are developed on old crystalline rocks under moderate to heavy rainfall conditions. They are deficient in phosphoric acid‚ organic matter

Introduction The continent of South America has about one-eighth of the Earth’s land surface‚ situated between latitudes 12°N-55°S and longitudes 80°-35°W; no other continent has a greater latitudinal span. Eighty percent of its land mass is within the tropical zone‚ yet it extends into the subantarctic. The extensive zones of temperate and cold climates in the vicinity of the Equator‚ in the Andes‚ are unique. The land area of about 17‚519‚900-17‚529‚250 km² is under the jurisdiction of 13 countries
