Research
Research in this area focuses on
- studying forest diseases (e.g. Armillaria), their physiology
and life cycles, in order to control outbreaks and manage their spread;
and
- developing biological pesticides and alternative controls.
Also included in forest pathology studies is damage caused
by noninfectious disease agents such as humans (through air and soil contamination),
animals, and weather.
