| This guide helps readers to recognize symptoms of ill health, to distinguish these from normal events that signal a temporary decline, and to improve their skills in making the vital preliminary diagnosis. The guide provides 140 photographs of symptoms from more than 50 tree species to be used as a basis for demonstating the effects of pest (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) influences on trees. The guide aims to help people make visual assessments of tree problems and to provide a preliminary diagnosis.
