The Influence of Climate Change on Insect Invasions in Temperate Forest Ecosystems

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Challenges and Opportunities for the World's Forests in the 21st Century

Part of the book series: Forestry Sciences ((FOSC,volume 81))

Abstract

Climate change could potentially become one of the most important influences on forest ecosystem function and diversity due to its profound effect on many biotic processes. Additionally, climate change could interact with other anthropogenically driven agents of forest alteration, such as non-native invasive species. Although their arrival is primarily facilitated by global trade and travel, climate and changes to climate have affected and will likely continue to affect rates of invasive species establishment, range expansion, and impact to native ecosystems. In this chapter, we attempt to synthesize broadly the interaction between climate change and non-native insect invasions in temperate forest ecosystems. We highlight four primary effects: changes in distributional ranges, outbreak frequency and intensity, seasonality and voltinism, and trophic interactions. A paucity of data for some processes necessitated the use of exemplar native species in native ranges, and their extrapolation to non-native species. Future studies should give greater attention to the complexity associated with these interacting forces of change in forest ecosystems.
