Living with bark beetles: impacts, outlook and management options

“…Diverse forests are less susceptible to bark beetle infestation because they provide lower host tree availability, host larger populations of natural enemies and competitors, and have increased production of non-host volatiles that might deter the beetles (Semiochemical Diversity hypothesis; see page 25). Griess et al (2012) found that the probability for a pure Norway spruce stand to reach 100 years under current climatic conditions in western Germany can be increased from 80% to 97% by increasing tree species diversity. The importance of fostering diverse stands further increases with climate change.…”
