Plants encounter several biotic and abiotic stresses, usually in combination. This results in
major economic losses in agriculture and forestry every year. Climate change aggravates …

We review and synthesize information on invasions of nonnative forest insects and diseases
in the United States, including their ecological and economic impacts, pathways of arrival …

During 25 surveys of global Phytophthora diversity, conducted between 1998 and 2020, 43
new species were detected in natural ecosystems and, occasionally, in nurseries and …

Several key tree genera are used in planted forests worldwide, and these represent
valuable global resources. Planted forests are increasingly threatened by insects and …

The economic and environmental threats posed by non-native forest insects are ever
increasing with the continuing globalization of trade and travel; thus, the need for mitigation …

We present strong evidence that pathogens play a critical role in structuring plant
communities and maintaining plant diversity. Pathogens mediate plant species coexistence …

Increasing tree mortality can have pervasive impacts on forest dynamics. Yet, large-scale
trends in tree mortality and their effects on forest demography remain poorly quantified …

Species introductions are a dominant component of biodiversity change but are not explicitly
included in most discussions of biodiversity–disease relationships. This is a major oversight …

Stress in forest ecosystems (FES) occurs as a result of land-use intensification, disturbances,
resource limitations or unsustainable management, causing changes in forest health (FH) at …

The advent of simple and affordable tools for molecular identification of novel insect
invaders and assessment of population diversity has changed the face of invasion biology in …
