Although trees generally have a self-defense mechanism to protect themselves against most diseases and insects, several factors can weaken trees, such as lack of or excess water, climate change, poor soil, or injury. This is when trees are most fragile and susceptible to insect infestation. In Morocco, the drought period that lasted from 1980 to 1986, followed by another drought in the 1990s, only encouraged the establishment and proliferation of Phoracantha semipunctata. This study shows the phytosanitary status of eucalyptus trees introduced to Morocco and their adaptation in four pre-selected arboretums. It was concluded that certain species of eucalyptus, such as Eucalyptus falcata, showed a certain degree of adaptation and resistance to the new climatic conditions, specifically the drought and attacks by P. semipunctata, unlike other species of eucalyptus that proved to be more vulnerable, such as Eucalyptus gomphocephala.

Forest Monitoring, 12
<p>The demand for comparable, long-term, high quality data on forest ecosystems' status and changes is increasing at the international and global level. Yet, sources for such data are limited and in many case it is not possible to compare data from different monitoring initiatives across space and time because of methodological differences. Apart from technical manuals, there is no comprehensive multidisciplinary, scientific, peer-reviewed reference for forest monitoring methods that can serve and support the user community. This book provides in a single reference the state-of-the-art of monitoring methods as applied at the international level. </p> <p>The book present scientific concepts and methods that form the basis of the transnational, long-term forest monitoring in Europe and looks at other initiatives at the global level. Standardized methods that have been developed over two decades in international forest monitoring projects are presented. Emphasis is put on trans-nationally harmonized methods, related data quality issues, current achievements and on remaining open questions.</p><br>
