Abstract

Microorganisms and insects use conifer tissue as a substrate and food source, which can result in damage and disease. Physiological changes and reduction in vigor of the host tissue resulting from microbial and insect activity could impair the ability of conifers to develop freezing tolerance. Freezing injury also damages cells and reduces tissue vigor, which could predispose conifers to pest damage and microbial infection. Therefore, there are potential interactions between freezing injury and conifer pests.
