Abstract
In the Selby smoke zone certain guide plants were selected to aid in determining the utmost limits of smoke injuries. Plant damage caused by fungi, bacteria, and insects is not difficult to distinguish from SO/sub 2/ injury, although outward appearances are similar. The browning and death of the Monterey cypress was caused by insects, but residents of the area attributed the malady to smelter smoke. A common phenomenon throughout the smoke zone is a black, sooty deposite on plants. This sooty mold has no relation to the smelter, but is common near the sea where the air is damp. Bacterial blight and a fungal disease cause injuries on barley, which in the early stages resembles SO/sub 2/ damage. Inorganic injuries, such as flooding, fire, and drought are discussed in relation to plants. Natural conditions occuring in plants, such as leaf maturity can also be mistaken for smoke injury.
