Page : 682 pages
File Size : 24,30 MB
Release : 1984-05-14
Category : Nature
ISBN : 9780471025733
Book Description
This text considers forest insects occurring in forest ecosystems, specialized forestry settings, and urban forests, with an approach and coverage that make it suitable for use in both undergraduate and graduate courses in forest entomology and forest protection. Early chapters introduce entomology, middle chapters provide the first comprehensive treatment of the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) of forest insects, and later chapters discuss the pest insects according to their feeding group.

Throughout the world there is a need to control forest insect pests. This text focuses predominantly on insect pests, but many examples relate to fungal pathogens, saome of which are vectored by forest insects. It looks at the development of Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
Invasive Forest Insects, Introduced Forest Trees, and Altered Ecosystems

Book Description
Demand for timber and fibre continues to grow and is being met by increased reliance on plantation forestry. Many of the plantations that are being grown around the globe are non-native species that have characteristics of rapid growth and good commercial qualities. In some cases, the high rates of production are a result of the absence of native herbivore and diseases. This limited pest status is threatened as pest species move around the globe. At the same time there is concern about threats of these non-native plantation species on native communities and the impact of changing climates on forest productivity. This volume explores many of these issues for the first time.

Publisher : Springer Science & Business Media
Page : 332 pages
File Size : 15,88 MB
Release : 2007-05-08
Category : Science
ISBN : 0306475960
Book Description
Mechanisms and Deployment of Resistance in Trees to Insects is a worldwide synthesis of tree resistance to insects. The contributions are by senior scientists and represent all the major forested regions of the world. The book constitutes a comprehensive treatment of the state of our knowledge on patterns of resistance by insect guilds and how this knowledge can be deployed to achieve the management of damaging forest insects. This book will serve as an essential reference book for all researchers and practitioners attempting to manage forest pests using genetic resistance.
Impacts, Monitoring and Management of Forest Pests and Diseases

Category : Science
ISBN : 3039281666
Book Description
Forest pests have diverse negative impacts on forestry economy, ecosystem services, biodiversity, and sustainable ecosystem management. The first step towards effectively managing forest pests would be to monitor their occurrence and assess their impact on forest ecosystems. The monitoring results can provide basic information for effective management strategies. The data from monitoring programs can result in the development of new methods for monitoring, assessing impact, and developing management techniques. This special issue aims to share information to assist in the effective management of forest pests, by understanding the responses of forest pests to natural and anthropogenic changes, and discussing new studies on the monitoring, assessment, and management of forest pests. The fourteen papers included in this issue focus on monitoring, assessing, and managing forest pests, including one editorial providing an overall idea of the monitoring, assessment and management of forest pests, two articles reviewing long-term changes in forest pests and forests, four papers focusing on the monitoring of forest pests, three papers on the assessment of forest pests, and four papers on the management of forest pests. These papers provide a better understanding of the structures and processes in forest ecosystems and fundamental information for the effective management of forest pests.
Ecology and Management of Forest Insects
Author : Martin R. Speight
Publisher : Oxford University Press, USA
Page : 374 pages
File Size : 10,94 MB
Release : 1989
Category : Forest insects
ISBN : 9780198541615
Book Description
This practical new book, the first English language treatise on this subject, provides a unique synthesis of all aspects of forest insect ecology and control. The reader will find coverage on the nature of forest pests, along with extensive analysis of the role of climate, natural enemies, competition, and interactions with the host tree in insect population dynamics. Careful attention is paid to outbreaks and their impact on the forest environment. A realistic appraisal of the value of silvicultural, biological, and chemical control methods is included, along with information on how to incorporate these methods into an effective framework of integrated pest management.
Forests and Insects

Page : 440 pages
File Size : 40,65 MB
Release : 1997-09-30
Category : Nature
ISBN : 9780412791109
Book Description
This book covers the full breadth of forest entomology. It combines the work of forest entomologists working on the impact and management of forest pests with those involved in diversity assessment and conservation of insects in forests. Forests and Insects demonstrates that both these disciplines demand an understanding of population and community biology. The book covers such topics as colonization of trees by insects, population dynamics of forest insects, insect natural enemies, the effects of climate change and pollution on forest pests, spatial variation in the abundance of insects,the mineralization of carbon by termites, the impact of herbivorous insects, and the conservation of forest insect diversity, including the effects of forest fragmentation and deforestation. This Royal Entomological Society Symposium volume will be of great interest to all agricultural and forest entomologists, population and community biologists, pest management specialists and anyone concerned with the conservation of forest biodiversity.
