| | Conifer Bark Beetle - Landscape Nursery and Urban Forestry - UMass Extension |
 | | A group of bark beetles known as Ambrosia beetles are able to tunnel into the wood of the host and live in this nutrient-poor environment by transporting specific fungal spores on their bodies that grow within the galleries. | | | In the Northeast, the primary concern with conifer bark beetles is associated mostly with weakened pines in the forest and landscape. | | | One, of several recently transplanted pines, was killed by bark beetle attack. |

| | Elm Bark Beetle - Landscape Nursery and Urban Forestry - UMass Extension |
| | Elm bark beetles require a tree in a very weakened state or one that is freshly dead in order to be successful in colonization; elms dying from DED are perfect breeding sites for these beetles. | | | The adult egg-laying gallery of the smaller European elm bark beetle runs parallel to the grain of the wood while that of the native elm bark beetle goes across the grain. | | | By feeding on the tender bark of healthy tree twigs in the spring, and creating wounds, they then inoculate that tree with DED from the spores on their bodies. |

| | How Bark is Protection for Trees |
| | Bark: It is defined by the American Heritage Dictionary as "the outer covering of the woody stems, branches, roots, and main trunks of trees and other woody plants, as distinguished from the cambium and inner wood. | | | These same oils and other chemicals in the bark of trees and other plants can also serve to protect the plant. | | | It loses its leaves in the winter, thereby exposing its bark to the harsh sunlight of winter. |

| | The bark is used as a source of wax and tannin; in cork products, plastics, adhesives, flooring materials, undercoatings for automobile bodies; and as a soil conditioner. | | | Expensive machines and processes are now used to debark pulpwood logs at the mills or as they are cut in the forests. | | | One of the greatest and most rapidly expanding uses of timber today is to supply pulpwood for the manufacture of several hundred different kinds of paper, cardboard, carton materials, insulation boards, and many other products. |

| | The amount of piñon and ponderosa mortality in 2004 was substantially less than in 2003, a result of the combination of slightly greater precipitation and the fact that many of the trees in the most susceptible areas have already been killed. | | | A healthy tree is typically able to defend against a bark beetle attack by pushing the beetles out with sap. | | | These insects are native to the piñon-juniper woodlands and ponderosa pine forests of the Southwest, normally attacking only a small number of diseased or weakened trees. |
