Factors involved in tree declines can be arranged as predisposing, contributing or inciting factors and can take place successively or simultaneously during the decline process. Due to global change, declines are expected to increase in the future as a result of biological invasion and increased frequency and intensity of droughts.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ist.blogs.inra.fr\/afs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/03\/Salle5.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2795 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/ist.blogs.inra.fr\/afs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/03\/Salle5-222x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"222\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ist.blogs.inrae.fr\/afs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/03\/Salle5-222x300.png 222w, https:\/\/ist.blogs.inrae.fr\/afs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/03\/Salle5-768x1036.png 768w, https:\/\/ist.blogs.inrae.fr\/afs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/03\/Salle5-759x1024.png 759w, https:\/\/ist.blogs.inrae.fr\/afs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/03\/Salle5-300x405.png 300w, https:\/\/ist.blogs.inrae.fr\/afs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/03\/Salle5.png 844w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 222px) 100vw, 222px\" \/><\/a>During this process, insects may play key roles as contributing factors, when for instance repeated defoliations by moths act as intense and punctual perturbations, triggering declines. Bark and wood borers like <em>Platypus <\/em>sp., <em>Agrilus <\/em>sp. or bark beetles may also act as inciting factors, aggravating the deleterious effects of contributing factors, and ultimately killing the trees. Declines also modify stand microclimates and tend to foster the occurrence of microhabitats like dead branches or cavities. This can deeply change the communities of forest insects, like saproxylic species for instance, and promote populations of patrimonial or rare species.<\/p>\n<p>Forest health &#8211; biodiversity &#8211; secondary pests<\/p>\n<p>Our Guest Editors are Dr. Christophe Bouget and Dr. Aur\u00e9lien Sall\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ist.blogs.inra.fr\/afs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/03\/Salle4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2794 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/ist.blogs.inra.fr\/afs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/03\/Salle4-227x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ist.blogs.inrae.fr\/afs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/03\/Salle4-227x300.png 227w, https:\/\/ist.blogs.inrae.fr\/afs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/03\/Salle4-768x1014.png 768w, https:\/\/ist.blogs.inrae.fr\/afs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/03\/Salle4-776x1024.png 776w, https:\/\/ist.blogs.inrae.fr\/afs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/03\/Salle4-300x396.png 300w, https:\/\/ist.blogs.inrae.fr\/afs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/03\/Salle4.png 856w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 227px) 100vw, 227px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.irstea.fr\/bouget\">Christophe Bouget<\/a> is a Research associate at Irstea (National Research Institute of Science and Technology for Environment and Agriculture, Nogent-sur-Vernisson, France).
