Forest Pathology is the study of diseases that affect trees and forests. It focuses on identifying the causes of these diseases, which can include fungi, bacteria, viruses, and environmental factors. Understanding these diseases helps in managing forest health and ensuring the sustainability of forest ecosystems. Researchers in Forest Pathology work to develop strategies for disease prevention and control. This includes monitoring tree health, studying disease resistance, and implementing management practices. By addressing forest diseases, they aim to protect biodiversity and maintain the ecological balance within forested areas.
