The European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) is widely regarded as the single most important insect pest affecting European forests. Warming conditions have also triggered sudden, widespread and devastating outbreaks in Scandinavia and Central Europe, with the pest also seen as a major potential threat in North America.

The European spruce bark beetle: Connecting ecology, human aspects and practical forest management reviews important aspects of infestation dynamics of the European spruce bark beetle and also considers how forest owners assess, manage and mitigate potential outbreaks. The book also addresses current practical survey and management measures, as well as the development of more ecological approaches to pest management which provide a potential blueprint for managing other major forest insect pests.

Zielgruppe

University and other researchers in forestry, entomologists, companies managing forest plantations, forest owners, as well as government and other agencies responsible for ensuring sustainable forest management.
