Global Warming and Adaptive Changes of Forest Pests
The temperature changes of six zones in China showed that atmospheric warming significantly affected the occurrence, distribution and damage of forest pests. Climate warming increases the annual accumulated temperature available for forest pests, leading to the increase of generations in some pests. It also expands the suitable temperature region for pests, resulting in the expansion of distribution area. The in-crease of average annual temperature leads to the advance of post-hibernant in Spring and overwintering and the delay in Autumn, then enables adults to emerge earlier, extends occurrence period, increases population, and aggravates damage.
