Abstract:

The area of planted forests in China ranks first in the world, but the per capita consumption of timber is only 1/5 that the of developed countries. The dependence on foreign timber is colsed to 50%. Timber forests are of great significance to China’s timber and ecological security forest carbon sequestration and green development. However, due to single tree species, simple stand structure, and low level of biodiversity biological disasters occur frequently in timber forests. Among them, fungal diseases are responsible for the major biological disasters on timber forests in China. This study focuses on the scientific aspects such as the pathogenic mechanisms and green control, and reviews the etiology, occurrence characteristics, pathogenic mechanisms, and biological control by endophytes on the main fungal diseases on timber species in China. The epidemic monitoring, pathogen-host interaction, cultivation management, sustainable green prevention and control, and other integrated control strategies of major fungal diseases on timber forests in the future are prospected as well.

Key words: timber forests, fungal disease, etiology, pathogenic mechanism, green control
