Table 3_Sunburn-induced bark damage facilitates Eutypella decipiens infection of Carpinus

Dušan Jovanović's study provides data on the decline of European hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) in Serbian urban landscapes. The research identifies Eutypella decipiens as the causal agent of bark cankers and demonstrates a correlation with sunburn damage through field surveys and pathogenicity trials. The dataset, last updated on 2026-05-11, includes findings from controlled inoculation experiments showing significant necrosis development.

Use Cases

• Modeling pathogen-host-environment interactions based on the described correlation between canker orientation and sun exposure
• Assessing urban tree vulnerability to synergistic stressors based on the study's findings on sunburn-facilitated infection
• Comparing pathogenicity of fungal agents based on the described inoculation trials with Eutypella decipiens and Cryphonectria carpinicola

Strengths

• The study provides the first evidence of an abiotic-mediated infection pathway for Eutypella decipiens
• Pathogenicity trials yielded quantitative results, with necroses from E. decipiens being 10.2 times longer and 22.9 times larger in area than the control
• Field observations provide spatial correlation data, noting cankers were exclusively located on the south and southwest sides of trunks

Limitations

• The dataset is a 1.5 MB DOCX file; the underlying structured data (e.g., raw measurements, column definitions) is not directly accessible
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative analysis
• The geographic scope is limited to central Serbia, which may affect generalizability
