Additional notes
The leaves in this photo are beginning to turn
brown at the edges which is a sign of drought stress. In deciduous
trees, 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.
Rainfall amounts from May through August 2007 across southern Ohio were
roughly 30% of normal. Southern Ohio was classified as D3, or
extreme drought, by the
U.S. Drought
Monitor.
