Forest entomology is the study of insects that interact with forests, including their ecology, behavior, and impact on forest health. This field encompasses a wide range of topics such as insect biology, population dynamics, and the role of insects in forest ecosystems. Forest entomologists work to understand the relationship between insects and trees, and develop strategies to manage and mitigate the negative impacts of insect pests on forest ecosystems. This research area is important for maintaining the health and sustainability of forests, which are essential for biodiversity, water quality, and carbon sequestration.
