Methods and Data Sources

Information for this chapter is derived from two primary sources—published literature and the experience of the authors and their colleagues who are engaged in pest management. Experts in State and Federal agencies and in universities and other private organizations have provided information on specific pests.

A limited selection of articles is cited. Cited articles form only a small part of the extensive literature about pests of southern forests. Additional information about forest pests and their control is readily available from State and Federal forestry agencies or on the Internet (two good starting points are http://fhpr8.srs.fs.fed.us/ and http://www.na.fs.fed.us/spfo/pubs/fth_pub_pages/fidl.htm).
