Springer - Forest Pest and Disease Management in Latin America

Latin American forests provide essential economic goods and ecosystem services that support the environmental and social welfare of the entire region. From the tropical forests of Central America to the temperate vegetation of the southern cone, these ecosystems face significant phytosanitary challenges. These problems impact both conservation efforts and the forest industry. This book offers a comprehensive look at pest and disease management through the perspectives of several Latin American researchers. It addresses the specific needs of both natural forests and exotic plantations. By examining the status of various threats, the text provides modern views on managing the biological issues that threaten forest health and economic stability. This resource is designed for those studying or working within the biological sciences and forest management sectors in Latin America.
