Abstract:In recent years, the red turpentine beetle (RTB), an invasive pest species, has caused extensive pine mortality in North China. Although some studies have theoretically clarified the interference mechanism of multi-level factors with the development of RTB damage, knowledge about this mechanism from the empirical research is still limited. The aim of this study was to determine whether the primary factors influencing RTB occurrence change during different periods of RTB invasion. Stand-level variables of sampl… Show more
