| Abstract | Insects and microorganisms are important components of the biodiversity and ecology of forests. This course covers the diversity, biology and ecology of insects and pathogens, both native and non-native species and especially those that are tree pests or cause diseases. The course also covers entomological and pathological methods, forest protection and other relevant topics. |
| Learning objective | Basic knowledge of: - biology, ecology and biodiversity of insects and the main insect orders with examples of beneficial and pest species of trees and forests of central Europe. - the various groups of tree pathogens (fungi, oomycetes, bacteria, viruses) as well as abiotic causes of tree diseases. - the most important concepts such as forest health, disposition, resistance, interactions, vectors, epidemiology, outbreaks, invasive species and climatic factors. - methods for monitoring and sustainable prevention and limitation of damage from insets and pathogens. |
