Sommario/riassunto

This title offers uniquely international coverage of the latest advances in the epidemiology and management of major forest pathogens. The threats to forest health around the world are increasingly attracting international attention. This is the first book on the market to cover forest diseases on an international scale. It is a timely publication as the health of forests around the world are under increasing threat. It covers all recent advances in the management of forest diseases, including the epidemiology and infection biology of forest pathogens, and forest protection based on integrated
