Abstract:
|
Insects and diseases exert immense ecological impact on and economic loss to forests on a landscape-level scale through reduced tree growth or vigor and increased tree mortality. There has been a plethora of work on models examining population dynamics of insects, but only a few link space, time, and environmental factors simultaneously. We review some of the existing approaches and propose new landscape predictive models. We highlight some of the modeling difficulties and propose possible solutions. Outbreaks of mountain pine beetle, a landscape-altering insect that infests pine forests of North America, are studied for illustration.
