维持和恢复森林生态系统将是实现必要的碳封存目标、保护生物多样性以及支持健康的经济和社会的关键。森林生态系统日益受到外来森林昆虫和病原体的威胁。这些害虫中的一部分能够克服预防和遏制措施，并在原始生态系统中扎根。这些害虫一旦形成，就会对森林生态系统构成长期、大规模的威胁，而目前的政策和应对框架很难解决这一问题。我们建议建立一个联邦森林害虫控制和预防中心，利用一个充分整合宿主树抗性开发和部署的生态信息框架，实施对森林害虫入侵的端到端响应。
Maintenance and restoration of forest ecosystems will be key to achieving necessary carbon sequestration goals, protecting biodiversity, and supporting healthy economies and societies. Forest ecosystems are increasingly threatened by non-native forest insects and pathogens. A portion of these pests are able to overcome prevention and containment efforts and become established in naive ecosystems. Once established these pests pose a long-term large-scale threat to forest ecosystems, which current policy and response frameworks are poorly equipped to address. We propose the creation of a federal Center for Forest Pest Control and Prevention to implement end-to-end responses to forest pest invasions using an ecologically-informed framework that fully integrates host tree resistance development and deployment.
