Abstract

Recovery of Phytophthora ramorum from soils throughout Sudden Oak Death-affected regions of California illustrates that soil serves as an inoculum reservoir for the pathogen, but the potential for survival in soils throughout the summer is largely unknown. In this study we assess pathogen survival in infected leaf tissue in the upper soil profile in a redwood-tanoak forest ecosystem in Sonoma County, California.
