54 Damage status of the tree

DEAD TREES have to be reported as follows:

code_tree_damage_status = 4 (see d_tree_damage_status)
defoliation = 100% or -1 (see d_defoliation)

Code -1 (no assessment) should be used for trees that could not be assessed for defoliation (removal codes 7, 8, 11-19, 21-29, and 41-49).

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:

code_tree_damage_status = 0 (see d_tree_damage_status)

NO DAMAGE ASSESSMENT was conducted:

code_tree_damage_status = 9 (see d_tree_damage_status)

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)
