Fast.<\/p>\n<p>The trees that shade, cool and feed people from Ventura County to the Mexican border are dying so fast that within a few years it\u2019s possible the region will look, feel, sound and smell much less pleasant than it does now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re witnessing a transition to a post-oasis landscape in Southern California,\u201d says Greg McPherson, a supervisory research forester with the U.S. Forest Service who has been studying what he and others call an unprecedented die-off of the trees greening Southern California\u2019s parks, campuses and yards.<\/p>\n<p>Botanists in recent years have documented insect and disease infestations as they\u2019ve hop-scotched about the region, devastating Griffith Park\u2019s sycamores and destroying over 100,000 willows in San Diego County\u2019s Tijuana River Valley Regional Park, for example.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s heartbreaking to see trees dying in such dramatic numbers in famously lush cities like Pasadena, Alhambra and Arcadia.&#8221;<br \/>\n\u2014 Jerrold Turney, plant pathologist for Los Angeles County.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;And that insect is just one of the imminent threats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany of the trees we grow evolved in temperate climates and can\u2019t tolerate the stress of drought, water restrictions, higher salinity levels in recycled water, wind and new pests that arrive almost daily via global trade and tourism, local transportation systems, nurseries and the movement of infected firewood,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There will be no miraculous recovery of these urban ecosystems after the beetles are done with them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mark Hoddle, director of UC Riverside\u2019s Center for Invasive Species.<\/p>\n<p>But Southern Californians would face many other costs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCatastrophic loss of our canopy,\u201d McPherson said, \u201cwould have consequences for human health and well-being, property values, air-conditioning savings, carbon storage, the removal of pollutants from the air we breathe, and wildlife habitat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jerrold Turney, plant pathologist for Los Angeles County, likened the surge in urban tree mortality to \u201cwatching a train wreck in slow motion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s heartbreaking,\u201d he said, \u201cto see trees dying in such dramatic numbers in famously lush cities like Pasadena, Alhambra and Arcadia: sycamores, all the maples, olives, liquidambers, flower plums, myrtles, oleanders and oaks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mark Hoddle, director of UC Riverside\u2019s Center for Invasive Species, said that the tree loss is \u201cstarting to cascade across the urban landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout shade trees, water temperatures will rise and algae will bloom in riparian areas, for instance,\u201d Hoddle said. \u201cAs a result, fish, frog and native insect populations will diminish, along with the pleasure of hiking, because there\u2019ll be nothing to look at but dead boughs of trees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd,\u201d he added, \u201cthere will be no miraculous recovery of these urban ecosystems after the beetles are done with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among the hardest-hit native species of urban trees are California sycamores, typically found along streams and commonly used as shade and street trees in places such as Griffith Park and along downtown\u2019s Wilshire Boulevard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere\u2019s the sad news about sycamores,\u201d said Akif Eskalen, a plant pathologist at the University of California, Riverside. \u201cIf we cannot control the shot hole borer, it will kill all the sycamores in California. And when they\u2019re done with sycamores, they\u2019ll move to other trees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By 2012, pathologists knew that the shot hole borer was transmitting a fatal fungal disease to 19 species of trees in Southern California, he said. Since then, scientists have identified 30 additional host species.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we cannot control the shot hole borer, it will kill all the sycamores in California.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Akif Eskalen, plant pathologist at the University of California, Riverside.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just substitute &#8220;Jews&#8221; for everything bad in this article and you can see how this essay is an invite for a Holocaust.
