Additional notes
To conserve water, trees may shed their leaves in
severe cases. In deciduous trees, additional signs of drought stress
are curling, marginal browning, shedding, and early autumn coloration of
leaves are well-known responses to drought. In conifers, drought may
cause yellowing and browning of needle tips.
Southern Ohio continues to be plagued with
much-below average rainfall for most of 2007. Currently, the
U.S. Drought
Monitor has classified much of Ohio as D1, or moderate drought.
Portions of far southern Ohio, including portions of Clermont County, have been
classified as D2, or severe drought. D2 conditions extend
southward into parts of northern Kentucky.
