In this thesis the pathogenic potential of the blue stain fungus Ophiostoma clavatum in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) seedlings was explored. Following climate change, in recent decades, an increased severity of the bark beetle Ips acuminatus attacks on Scots pine has been observed, both in Finland and in the alpine regions of Europe. I. acuminatus vectors O. clavatum and these attacks have led to increased tree mortality. This research was designed to determine if O. clavatum alone had pathogenic potential and if it would be a contributor to Scots pine seedling mortality. The method used was to divide 90 Scots pine seedlings into: i) a control group, ii) a mock-inoculated control group, and iii) an inoculated group. The seedlings were kep...
