Forest Health in the Southern Cone of America: State of the Art and Perspectives on Regional Efforts

Abstract: The plantation and natural forests of South America have been highly impacted by native and exotic pests in recent decades. The interaction of emerging invasive pests, climate change, and timber markets will define the region’s forests, with significant but uncertain ecological changes and economic losses expected. The Southern Cone Forest Health Group (SCFHG), a joint ad hoc initiative run by forest health professionals from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay, aims to strengthen relationships between the f… Show more

“…However, pest responses to landscape complexity show variable patterns globally, primarily related to species traits and the specific context in which crops are cultivated 6 . Furthermore, forestry systems are much less studied, and understanding how different key drivers modulate the spatiotemporal dynamics of pest species is crucial to developing effective management strategies, especially when dealing with native pest species 7 .…”

“…Plantation forests in tropical regions and in South America are typically developed as intensive crops of even-aged non-native tree species, cultivated in monoculture plots over large areas 7 – 9 . This regional pattern is likely due to the exceptional growth and yield rates observed in exotic trees, mainly eucalypts and pines, compared to those observed for the same species in their native distribution 10 , 11 .…”
