Unfavorable mixed species

Creating mixed forests with more than two tree species can significantly improve land conditions, enhance ecological protection, and increase resistance to fires, pests, and diseases. However, not all combinations of tree species are beneficial. Some unfavorable mixtures can actually hinder growth and lead to severe pest and disease outbreaks. For example: First, mixing poplar and larch can be problematic. Poplars such as the white poplar, Beijing poplar, or black poplar are susceptible to poplar rust (or yellow powder disease), which is hosted by larch trees. The disease often appears early in the season and then spreads to pine leaves, causing premature leaf drop, shoot tip dieback, delayed leafing, and smaller leaves, all of which negatively impact the growth of the trees. Second, planting poplar with mulberry trees can lead to serious damage from the mulberry silkworm. This pest feeds on mulberry leaves, and without them, the larvae cannot develop properly. However, when poplars are planted alongside mulberry trees, the silkworms can still thrive and cause significant harm to the poplars, reducing their health and productivity. Third, mixing larch with cloud forest trees can lead to infestations of larch bud moths. These pests first reproduce on spruce trees and then move on to larch, causing severe damage. The larvae can also weaken the larch, making it more susceptible to fungal infections. Fourth, planting spruce and thick cherry together increases the risk of spruce cone rust. Infected cones crack prematurely, reducing seed yield and quality, and affecting natural regeneration and seed collection efforts. Fifth, mixing Pinus tabulaeformis (Chinese pine) with Huang Boluo (a type of broadleaf tree) can lead to pine needle rust. This disease spreads quickly, especially on the windward side of the trees, and can severely affect the health and growth of the pines. Lastly, planting apples and pears together can result in a shared rust disease. While pears may not show visible symptoms, apple trees suffer from reduced yields, lower quality fruit, and in some cases, even tree death. In conclusion, while mixed forests offer many benefits, careful selection of compatible tree species is essential to avoid negative interactions. Understanding these relationships helps in creating healthier, more resilient forest ecosystems.
