Interesting report but as usual the authors miss the issue of forests being replanted with only one species of seedling.  We had this issue with the Pine Bark Beetle in Western Canada where cut blocks were replanted with Lodge Pole Pine to give the Forestry companies the fastest regrowth they could get.  Unfortunately it also made the new forest vulnerable to insect infestation.
