Abstract
The purpose of this study was to understand visitor perceptions of EAB’s visual impacts & if EAB acts as a constraint to recreation.
Description
One change to the landscape comes from terrestrial invasive species. Emerald ash borer (Agrilus planiplennis; EAB), an invasive forest pest native to Asia, was discovered in Minnesota in 2009 and is a potential threat to the state’s 998 million ash trees. As of 2014, EAB has been confirmed in 4 counties: Hennepin, Ramsey, Houston, & Winona. Although weakened & unhealthy trees may be more vulnerable to EAB, the pest successfully infests & kills healthy trees as well, leading to safety hazards & aesthetic impacts from canopy loss & tree mortality.
