Bear Bark Stripping Occurring, Factors and Prevention Analyzed by Literature Research

Abstract

Previous studies on bear bark stripping(;BBS) was reviewed in both levels of trees and tree stands, which have been focused on its damage and prevention. As the results, previous studies showed well-grown, fat trees and 20-30 years old tree stands, in which sugar concentration is high, have high potentiality for BBS. In addition to that, not only short term studies but also long term studies on BBS prevention are necessary, such as bear habitat assessment at BBS occurring tree stands.
