These may have been insects. These small insects feed on tree sap (汁液). Insects

36、on urban trees are notably more abundant than those on rural trees. As a result, urban trees suffer from heavy infestations (害虫横行), and are often unhealthy or die. To protect and restore urban trees health, we need to determine the factors that make these tree pests more successful in urban habitats

42、store urban forests? Regular irrigation when possible may help keep pest populations under control. Planting tree species that are suitable to handle heat and drought stress would also reduce the occurrence of insect pest outbreaks.1、What makes tree pests more successful in the city than in rural ar
