The Impact of Gypsy moth defoliation on the oak forest at Greenbrook Sanctuary, NJ. Bull. Torrey Bot. Club 110: 526-529. 1983.-The impact of gypsy moth defoliation on four species of oaks in the Greenbrook Sanctuary, NJ, indicates that mortality of Quercus rubra is significantly higher than that of Q. alba, Q. prinus, and Q. velutina. Larger red oaks experience the highest mortality. Mortality is highest for red oaks occupying moist and mesic sites and lowest for oaks at dry sites. Red oak has experienced a 56% decline in relative dominance over a three-year period, 1980-1982.
