Monitoring, Early Warning, and Scientific Management of Vegetation Pests and Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Climate change has caused a rapid increase in frequencies and severities of vegetation (crop, forest, grass, etc.) diseases and insect pests. It is highly necessary to monitor, predict the incidence and prevalence to support scientific management and biodiversity conservation, especially at a large scale (global, regional, national, local etc.). Remote sensing technology has greatly facilitated the diagnosis and treatment of vegetation diseases and insect pests to guarantee food security and stable ecological system.

In this Special Issue, we welcome papers from the international research community actively involved in research activities on vegetation diseases and insect pests monitoring, prediction, and scientific management. The Special Issue is open to all researchers working in these fields. The choice of papers for publication will rely on quality, soundness, and rigour of the research.
