Oak decline symptoms caused by Phytophthora spp. a. Extensive dieback and mortality of Quercus suber trees caused by P. cinnamomi in Portugal; b. progressive dieback and wilting of a mature Q. suber caused by P. cinnamomi and P. quercina in Sardinia (Italy); c. sudden death of a Q. ilex due to P. cinnamomi in a savannah-like ecosystem in Spain; d. Q. robur trees in Germany showing chlorosis, thinning and dieback of crowns, abundant proliferation of epicormic shoots, and mortality due to severe fine root destructions caused by P. plurivora and P. quercina; e. bleeding collar lesion with flame-shaped staining of the underlying xylem caused by P. cinnamomi on a mature Q. suber in Sardinia; f. root and collar rot caused by P. cinnamomi on a young Q. suber in a forest plantation in Sardinia; g, h. small woody roots of a mature Q. suber in Italy showing severe losses of fine roots and lateral roots and black necrotic lesions due to P. cinnamomi infections; i. small woody root of a mature Q. robur in Germany with severe losses of lateral roots and a callusing bark canker caused by P. plurivora and P. quercina. — Photos: a–d, i: T.
