Forest Health
A section of Forests (ISSN 1999-4907).
Section Information
The Section “Forest Health” publishes original research and full-length review articles describing research on all aspects of forest health. Examples of areas included in the Section “Forest Health” include but are not limited to:
- Physiological and genetic interactions between trees and harmful biotic impacts;
- Resistance and resilience mechanisms;
- Biological and applied aspects of tree diseases;
- Biology, ecology, and control of forest tree insects;
- Diagnosis, monitoring, and assessment of forest pathogen and insects;
- Impacts of forest pathogens and insects on forests;
- Impacts of disturbance such as pollution and climate change on forest trees and forest ecosystems;
- Methodology of forest insect and disease surveys;
- Population dynamics of forest insects;
- Forest Health Assessment;
- Alien invasive species;
- Social dimensions of forest health;
- Integrated management of forest defoliating insects and pathogens;
- Quantitative approaches including statistical, mathematics, and computer technology.
Proposals for Special Issues are also welcome.
