Forest Insect Ecology and Management
Forest Insect Ecology and Management is a research topic within Ecology. Science Explorer counts 30k research works in it since 1950. 16.9% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers explores the complex interactions and impacts of forest pest dynamics, focusing on bark beetles, invasive species, climate change, ecosystem disturbances, tree defense mechanisms, and the economic implications of biological invasions. The research delves into the drivers, consequences, and management strategies related to forest pest outbreaks and their effects on forest ecosystems.
