As part of Canada's Digital Collections program, the Laurentian
Forestry Centre's entomology and forest pathology laboratories have
prepared, for public use, an extensive collection of images and
a variety of information on the main insects and diseases of Quebec
forests and, more broadly, the forests of Eastern Canada.
Helps users identify an insect or a disease
by selecting the type of tree affected, conifers
(trees that bear narrow, needle-like or scale-like leaves) or deciduous
(trees that bear large leaves that fall in the autumn), and the
affected part of the tree -- Trees
of each Canada's province.
General introduction to forest pathology
-- Helps users identify a disease based on the classification,
according to the different levels of taxonomy, of fungi or based
on a description of the type of damage
observed -- Provides help for identifying some soil
fungi (mushrooms) -- Index
of all the disease names on the site.
This digital collection was produced under contract to Canada's Digital
Collections program, Industry Canada. This project was carried
out
with the collaboration of a LFC multidisciplinary
team.
