Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce this Collection titled “Editorial Board Members' Collection Series: Advances in Forest Health: Invasive Insects and Pathogens”. This issue will be a collection of papers from researchers invited by the Editorial Board Members.
The aim is to provide a venue for networking and communication between Forests and scholars in the field of forest health. We are committed to collecting a variety of research, including new diagnostic tools and techniques in forest pathology and entomology, the impact of alien and invasive pathogens and insects, the breeding and genetics of disease resistance in trees and the management of forest tree diseases. All papers will be published with full open access after peer review.
