Overview

Synthesis reveals pest interactions and climate extremes amplify forest health risks in China, suggesting monitoring needs.

Key Points

  • Insects significantly dominated forest pest damage, and their interactions with diseases created a 'bridge' for outbreaks.
  • Positive associations were found between insect damage and other pest types, notably diseases and rodents.
  • Climate extremes have contrasting effects: disease risk is exacerbated by drought and heavy rainfall, while rodent damage declines during drought.
  • Findings highlight the necessity for integrated pest monitoring and climate-informed early warning systems in managing forest health.
