Pathology
Research in this area focuses on
- studying forest diseases (fungi, root rots, cankers), 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 non-infectious
disease agents such as humans (through air and soil contamination), animals,
and weather.
