Stand composition and forest edge effects on insect pest dynamics in pine stands: a comparative analysis of pure and mixed forest structures in Algeria

Stand composition strongly influences forest susceptibility to insect herbivores, yet its role in shaping infestations of the pine processionary moth (Thaumetopoea pityocampa) remains poorly documented at the southern edge of the species’ distribution. This study investigated how...
