207. Forest Pest Management. Fundamentals of entomology and plant pathology as appropriate to understanding the impacts of insects and diseases on forest productivity and their assessment for integration into forest management. Regional case examples and complexes are evaluated in terms of pest-population, forest-stand dynamics; economic and societal constraints; treatment strategies; monitoring systems; and benefit-cost analysis. This approach seeks to develop predictive capabilities in long-range pest management and decision making. Instructor: Doggett. 3 units.
