Publisher Description: This risk assessment projects the effect of eight forest diseases under two climate change scenarios. Examples are used to describe how various types of forest diseases may respond to environmental changes. The likelihood and consequences of increased damage to forests from each disease as a result of climate change are analyzed and assigned a risk value of high, moderate, or low. The risk value is based on available biological information and subjective judgement. |
