Hawaiian Islands Ceratocystis rapid ohia death spatial analysis 2019

Metadata Updated: January 20, 2026

Hawaiʹi’s most widespread native tree, ʹōhiʹa lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha), has been dying across large areas of Hawaiʹi Island mainly due to two fungal pathogens (Ceratocystis lukuohia and Ceratocystis huliohia) that cause a disease collectively known as Rapid ʹŌhiʹa Death (ROD). Here we examine patterns of positive detections of C. lukuohia as it has been linked to the larger mortality events across Hawaiʹi Island. Our analysis compares the environmental range of C. lukuohia and its spread over time through the known climatic range and distribution of ʹōhiʹa. This data release consists of two rasters, one containing the projected suitability for C.lukuohia and another consisting of modeled presence/absence across the main Hawaiian Islands under current climatic conditions. This distribution model for C. lukuohia was generated using maxent using methods described in Fortini et. al 2019 (Forest Ecology and Management).
