Climate and Land Use Patterns DO Affect Forest Insect Pests and Diseases
Pathogen
![Page 3: Climate and Land Use Patterns - US Forest Service · Addressing Insect Pests and Diseases Exacerbated by Climate and Land Use Change Dr. Kerry O Britton Forest Pathology Program Leader](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052023/60390a9ec8e14948ae649e65/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
PEOPLE Also Affect Forest Insect Pests and Diseases
Pathogen
![Page 4: Climate and Land Use Patterns - US Forest Service · Addressing Insect Pests and Diseases Exacerbated by Climate and Land Use Change Dr. Kerry O Britton Forest Pathology Program Leader](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052023/60390a9ec8e14948ae649e65/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Climate change:
Directly affects pest distribution, survival and reproduction
Alters susceptibility of hosts
Permits new invasive species to establish
Bark beetles
Yellow cedar decline
![Page 5: Climate and Land Use Patterns - US Forest Service · Addressing Insect Pests and Diseases Exacerbated by Climate and Land Use Change Dr. Kerry O Britton Forest Pathology Program Leader](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052023/60390a9ec8e14948ae649e65/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Land Use Patterns:
Fire suppression can bark beetles
Thinning can root disease
Urbanization and Roads can spread of invasives
![Page 6: Climate and Land Use Patterns - US Forest Service · Addressing Insect Pests and Diseases Exacerbated by Climate and Land Use Change Dr. Kerry O Britton Forest Pathology Program Leader](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052023/60390a9ec8e14948ae649e65/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
So what can we do about it? Resiliency • Enhance biodiversity • Keep density below carrying capacity • Pay attention to root disease! Practice adaptive Management
![Page 7: Climate and Land Use Patterns - US Forest Service · Addressing Insect Pests and Diseases Exacerbated by Climate and Land Use Change Dr. Kerry O Britton Forest Pathology Program Leader](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052023/60390a9ec8e14948ae649e65/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Traditional outreach methods: Scientific publications ( available on TreeSearch) Field Days State and Private Forestry, esp. Forest Health Protection State Forestry Agency partners Cooperative extension service Forestry schools NGOs Research Stations webinars Online tools: • Climate Change Resource Center – www.fs.fed.us/ccrc • ForWarn – vulnerability assessments • TACCIMO – climate predictions and management options

How do we work together? Mostly focused on single issue….
Some model partnering systems: Greater Yellowstone Coalition California Oak Mortality Taskforce Western Bark Beetle Technical Work Group Yellow Cedar Work Group Continental Dialog National Agroforestry Center Monitoring on the Margins
