Superhydrophobicity mechanism of refoliated quaking aspen leaves after complete defoliation by LDD (gypsy, spongy) moth caterpillars

open access: yesPlant Science, 2023
Complete defoliation of trees due to periodic LDD (Lymantria dispar dispar) moth outbreaks in many parts of the world is a significant stress factor for the survival of individual trees and entire forests over vast areas. This study addresses such a mid-summer defoliation event in Ontario, Canada for quaking aspen trees during 2021.

Remote Sensing Indicators of Spongy Moth (Lymantria dispar L.) Damage to Birch Stands in Western Siberia

open access: yesForests, 2023
The goal of this study is to detect indicators of damage to birch stands in western Siberia by spongy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) using remote sensing methods. The need for such indicators is due to the fact that the size of the study area is about 1 million square kilometers, and ground methods are too laborintensive. It is crucial for these indicators
