Advancing Invasives

Pests and pathogens that affect trees can lead to unprecedented disturbance in forest systems through defoliation, rot, and decreased vigor and regeneration. Without natural predators and more hostpitable host habitats, pest and pathogen damage is anticipated to increase in the Northeast. Disease, insects, and fungal infections are all possible sources of pest/pathogen disturbance.
