Synthesizes the published literature on the following: the ecological and possible economic effects of ice storms on natural forests and plantations, including where possible the influences of past management practices; the recovery and mortality of individual trees and forests after ice storm damage; and management recommendations for ice damaged woodlots and plantations to minimize negative impacts. The literature search also superficially considered: wind and snow damage; some of the biological functions of tree reaction to wounds, crown damage, defoliation, and increased exposure; and disease and insect implications.
