“…Wood health is widely mentioned among local actors, because the main tree health problems in the area are related to the presence of xylophagous insects, specifically beetles in the Bostrychidae, Cerambycidae and Buprestidae families (Karlin et al 2013). A case in point is Neltuma flexuosa, a tree that provides multiple NCP and is attacked by Torneutes pallidipennis, affecting the quality of its wood (Ferrero et al 2013). The water content of the wood affects the perception of weight, in addition to influencing its flammability.…”

“…Del mismo modo, la utilización de testigos radiales ha permitido caracterizar la pérdida de vigor en árboles, debido al ataque de insectos barrenadores o perforadores (ej. Coleópteros), los cuales son los principales agentes de mortalidad y/o decaimiento de algunos tipos de bosques, produciendo grandes pérdidas económicas (Ferrero et al 2013). Sin embargo, a diferencia de los insectos defoliadores, son pocos los estudios que relacionan directamente los patrones de crecimiento de los árboles y el ataque puntual de un insecto barrenador, abundando más los estudios que colocan al ataque de los coleópteros en el contexto de decaimiento forestal iniciado por algún factor estresante como la sequía.…”
