This open access book will provide an introduction to forest
entomology, the principles and techniques of forest insect pest
management, the different forest insect guilds/feeding groups, and
relevant forest insect pest management case studies. In addition to
covering 30% of the earth, forest ecosystems provide numerous
timber and non-timber products that affect our daily lives and
recreational opportunities, habitat for diverse animal communities,
watershed protection, play critical roles in the water cycle, and
mitigate soil erosion and global warming. In addition to being the
most abundant organisms in forest ecosystems, insects perform
numerous functions in forests, many of which are beneficial and
critical to forest health. Conversely, some insects damage and/or
kill trees and reduce the capacity of forests to provide desired
ecosystem services. The target audience of this book is upper-level
undergraduate and graduate students and professionals interested in
forest health and entomology.
