Insect Pests as Climate Change Driven Disturbances in Forest Ecosystems

  • Chapter
Bioclimatology and Natural Hazards

Abstract

Climate change is generally agreed to have a profound impact on forest structure and its dynamics (Aber et al. 2001; Ayres and Lombardero 2000; Dale et al. 2000, 2001). As trees can live from decades to centuries, rapid changes of climate are also expressed through alterations of the disturbance regime (Franklin et al. 2002; He et al. 1999).
