Phenotypic interactions between tree hosts and invasive forest pathogens in the light of globalization and climate change.
Invasive pathogens can cause considerable damage to forest ecosystems. Lack of coevolution is generally thought to enable invasive pathogens to bypass the defence and/or recognition systems in the host. Although mostly true, this argument fails to predict intermittent outcomes in space and time, underlining the need to include the roles of the environment and the phenotype in host-pathogen inte...
متن کاملBehavior of Soil Physical and Chemical Properties against Forest landuse Change (Case Study: Khalkhal County, Ardabil Province)
Extended abstract 1- Introduction Changing the forests and pasture landuses to agricultural lands is one of the major global concerns about environmental degradation and climate change. As a result of the rangeland and forest changes into agricultural land and also tillage operations, about 430 million hectares, representing 30% of the world's total plowed land, are annually eroded and leavin...
متن کاملElevated atmospheric carbon dioxide and ozone alter forest insect abundance and community composition
1. Human-induced climate changes threaten the health of forest ecosystems. In particular, carbon dioxide (CO2) and tropospheric ozone (O3) will likely have significant but opposing impacts on forests and their associated insect communities. Compared with other animal groups, insect communities are expected to be especially sensitive to changes in global climate. 2. This study examined the effec...
متن کاملAssessing the consequences of global change for forest disturbance from herbivores and pathogens.
Herbivores and pathogens impact the species composition, ecosystem function, and socioeconomic value of forests. Herbivores and pathogens are an integral part of forests, but sometimes produce undesirable effects and a degradation of forest resources. In the United States, a few species of forest pests routinely have significant impacts on up to 20 million ha of forest with economic costs that ...
متن کاملVariable effects of climate on forest growth in relation to climate extremes, disturbance, and forest dynamics.
Changes in the frequency, duration, and severity of climate extremes are forecast to occur under global climate change. The impacts of climate extremes on forest productivity and health remain difficult to predict due to potential interactions with disturbance events and forest dynamics-changes in forest stand composition, density, size and age structure over time. Such interactions may lead to...
