The authors of this study, while mentioning the possibility of "Amazon die-back," don't speculate on whether the 2010 drought is the beginning of such a phenomenon. ❋ David Kroodsma (2011)
If by then you see some tip die-back, * then* cut back the tips to remove dead wood. ❋ Unknown (2009)
You can create interesting interplays of colour and contrasts of foliage; you can extend the flowering season and mask die-back; or cover the bare legs of your climbing roses. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Every 3 to 7 years the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) occurs when the sea temperature warms to over 30° over long periods, causing die-back of coral. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Concern has been expressed about recent indications of apparent deterioration in the flora, including localised die-back of sundri, commercially the most valuable of tree species. ❋ Unknown (2009)
With the ongoing world-wide die-back of anurans, now you want to outlaw peepers? ❋ Unknown (2009)
I wonder what the mark for novels purchased in a year by an average sf fan to prevent publication die-back is. ❋ Lou Anders (2006)
Though none of the IPCC scenarios take account of unpredictable feedbacks such as big methane releases or mass forest die-back. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Although I don't especially care for Baart's cynicism, I think that we could very well be on the verge of a massive die-back. ❋ Mac (2007)
In the picture Steve posted, normal precipitation-based growth/die-back would explain the bits of grass far more naturally than your supposition of a local oasis. ❋ Unknown (2006)
I would rather anoxia occured due to tremendous climate-related die-back of vegetation. ❋ Unknown (2005)
The most important bacterial disease is cassava bacterial blight, caused by Xanthosoma manihotis, which appears as leaf spotting and blight, wilting, die-back, gum exudation and vascular necrosis throughout the plant; resistant cultivars are available. ❋ Unknown (1987)
It has been reported from British Columbia that some die-back is due to deficiency of boron. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
Blight in chestnuts, nectria canker and blight in black walnuts, blight in filberts (Cryptosporella), scab in pecans, and die-back Melanconium oblongum in butternuts. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
Perhaps some of the die-back we see on nut trees during the summer is due to this cause and not all to winter injury. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
He included 'feed back factors', such as melting sea ice, methane released from thawing permafrost and Amazon die-back. ❋ Unknown (2011)
Scientists reported last year that the aspen die-back in the West had slowed after a series of cooler, wetter years. ❋ By JOHN COLLINS RUDOLF (2011)
Ultimately, the die-back was pinned on a severe 2002 drought and heat wave that left aspen stands vulnerable to pests, cankers and fungi. ❋ By JOHN COLLINS RUDOLF (2011)
One of the scarier possibilities to emerge from this body of work is worth dwelling on a bit, simply because it would be so devastating if it came to pass: the so-called Amazon die-back scenario. ❋ By JUSTIN GILLIS (2011)
