Unfavorable mixed species

Creating mixed forests with more than two tree species can significantly improve land conditions, enhance ecological protection, and increase the forest's resilience against fires, pests, and diseases. However, not all combinations of tree species are beneficial. Some unfavorable mixtures can actually hinder growth and lead to serious pest and disease problems. For example: First, mixing poplar with larch can be problematic. Poplars such as the black poplar, white poplar, or Beijing poplar are susceptible to poplar rust (also known as yellow powder disease), which is a host for larch. The disease spreads early in the year, infecting pine leaves and causing premature leaf drop, shoot tip dieback, late leafing, and small, stunted leaves, which severely affect the tree's growth. Second, planting poplar with mulberry trees can lead to severe infestations by the mulberry silkworm. These pests feed on mulberry leaves, and their larvae then move on to poplar trees, causing damage. Without mulberry trees, the silkworm cannot complete its life cycle, so it’s important to avoid this combination. Third, mixing larch with cloud forest trees can result in larch bud moth infestations. These moths reproduce on spruce trees and then attack larch, causing serious damage. The larvae also make the larch more vulnerable to fungal infections. Fourth, planting spruce alongside thick cherry can lead to spruce cone rust disease. Infected cones crack prematurely, reducing seed yield and quality, and affecting natural regeneration and seed collection efforts. Fifth, mixing Chinese pine (Pinus tabulaeformis) with Huang Boluo (a type of maple) can result in pine needle rust. The infection is more severe on the windward side of the tree, leading to significant damage. Lastly, planting apples and pears together can cause apple-pear rust. While pears may not show symptoms, apples suffer from reduced yields, lower quality, and in severe cases, even deforestation. This makes it essential to avoid such combinations in orchard planning. By carefully selecting compatible tree species, forest managers can promote healthier ecosystems and reduce the risk of disease and pest outbreaks. Understanding these interactions is key to sustainable forestry and agriculture.
