This report focuses only on the impacts of insects, diseases, and other disturbances on the various tree species of the state. In 2011, insect and disease-caused tree mortality generally decreased from 2010. The decrease in insect mortality can be attributed to the depletion of suitable host type and the general weather conditions which had been cool and moist and is not conducive to insect brood establishment, development, and survival. Adequate precipitation is necessary to maintain tree vigor thereby resistance to insects and diseases increases.
