Answer to #1

Insects damage trees primarily as bark borers, defoliators, wood borers, tip feeders, sap suckers, galling, seed eaters,
and root feeders.



Answer to #2

Insects are the most destructive. They spread easily and damage or kill trees quickly

Answer to #3

For the purposes of this book, forest enemies include anything that interferes with the normal reproduction and
growth of forest trees, given favorable climate and growing conditions



Answer to #4

It should be cut and disposed of away from the other trees (typically hauled away or burned.)

Answer to #5

Controlled grazing can be used to control dense undergrowth. Hardwoods in the understory can be eaten, which
helps in maintaining pure pine forests in pine plantations. Insect and disease problems also may be helped because
the undergrowth is controlled



Answer to #6

Wildlife can eat the seeds or young seedlings, tree shoots, twigs, and buds.
