The impact of bark-beetle-induced tree dieback on arthropod biodiversity on Yunnan, China
China recently announced a reform of forestry policy, with a major goal being to transform from plantation to heterogeneous forests, which have higher resistance to pests and disease and house more biodiversity. One driver of reform is increased intensity and frequency of pest-induced tree-dieback events. To inform management, we ask what effects these events have on arthropod biodiversity in Pinus yunnanensis monocultures in Yunnan province.
