Forest Insect Pest Management and Forest Management in China: An Overview
Environmental Management, 2011According to the Seventh National Forest Inventory (2004-2008), China's forests cover an area of 195.45 million ha, or 20.36% of the total land area. China has the most rapidly increasing forest resources in the world. However, China is also a country with serious forest pest problems.

Forest pest management sociopolitics
Forest Ecology and Management, 1991Abstract Successful forest pest managers must integrate complex technical considerations with important social and political concerns. Forest managers well trained in silviculture or entomology may be prepared for the biological challenges, but they may not be prepared for the sociopolitics.

Bulletin of the Entomological Society of America, 1984
Forests must be managed in ways different from farmlands. In agriculture, a grower is responsible for preparing the soil and selecting, planting, and harvesting the crop. Management options such as fertilization, irrigation, and pest control are available at most every phase of production. Each year a crop is harvested and sold.

Australian Forestry, 1959
SUMMARY The attack toy termites on indigenous eucalypt forests in Australia results in a serious loss of timber. Porotermes adamsoni is the most serious pest of alpine forests in New South Wales, Tasmania, and Victoria; and two species of Coptotermes (C. acinaciformis and C.

Pest Management in Tropical Forests
2020For pest management to be an integral part of forest resource management, a “look-ahead” policy must be in place. Monitoring is an important step while formulating the management strategies in forestry. Mechanical and physical methods serve as barriers and prevent insect pests from establishing on host plants.

1986
The term pest describes those organisms that have a negative impact on human survival or well-being, either acting as parasites; transmitting pathogens; competing with humans for food, fiber, or other useful resources; or just plain annoying them. The term pest, therefore, is highly subjective and reflects the human viewpoint.

Arboriculture & Urban Forestry, 1991
Pest management on street trees in the U.S. aims to protect an asset worth nearly $30 billion plus an investment of over $425 million dollars per year, or $10.62 per managed tree. Tree care accounts for only .49% of city budgets, and spraying, a major pest control method, is only 4% of that. Only 36% of responding cities monitor for pests.

The Urban Forest Can Be A Pest
Arboriculture & Urban Forestry, 1986Abstract“Pest” is frequently defined as anything that causes trouble, annoyance, or discomfort. Almost everyone hears about the benefits of trees for the urban environment. If management recognizes the pest potential of the urban forest, it can be the asset it was intended to be in our urban areas. Urban forests and trees usually become a pest (1) when

Tree Physiology and Forest Pests
Journal of Forestry, 1969Abstract Some aspects of host biology which influence host-pest relations are discussed. Insects and diseases affect tree growth in a complex manner by interfering with rates and balances of physiological processes. A sequential and very complicated series of metabolic disturbances of trees follows attacks by insects or fungi ...

Invasion by Exotic Forest Pests: A Threat to Forest Ecosystems
Forest Science, 1995For millions of years the distribution of the world's biota has been restricted by oceans and other natural barriers. During the last 100 years, human activities, especially international travel and trade, have circumvented these barriers and species are invading new continents at an increasing rate.
