Forest Pathology and Entomology—Series II

Dear Colleagues,

Given the interest aroused by the Special Issue “Forest Pathology and Entomology ", with many manuscripts submitted and more than 20 papers published, the Editorial Office invited us to propose a "Series II" of this Issue. The themes addressed continue to remain topical and of great interest, and therefore this new Series will again deal with tree health and forest protection in an era in which global climate change and global trade are exacerbating the impact of harmful plant parasites. The focus will therefore still be on emerging forest pathogens and pests, either native or introduced, with studies ranging from diagnosis, epidemiology and ecology to surveillance, monitoring and management. In this Special Issue we welcome contributions from all these fields, including assessments of the damage caused by pathogens and pests on forest ecosystem services.
