Popis: Managing multiple forest insect pests and diseases is challenging. For example, in eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) stands whereas partial shading and high seedling density is encouraged to reduce damage by white pine blister rust (Cronartium ribicola) and white pine weevil (Pissodes strobi), dense conditions in the understory may increase damage by foliar diseases such as brown spot needle blight (Lecanosticta acicola) and Caliciopsis canker (Caliciopsis pinea). We evaluated the effect of silvicultural treatments, shelterwoods (residual basal area
