Research Abstract

This study indicates that the Landsat time series can be used to effectively monitor the bamboo forest and used to map the bamboo forest distribution and growth situation. The results show that the total bamboo forest area and damaged areas were both increasing from the late 1980s to early 1990s. However, there was a decrease in damaged bamboo forest area after late 1990s. In addition, severe damage of pest mites is less with lower temperatures in winter.
We observed the population dynamics of pest mites and their predators in the Moso bamboo forest in Nanping district, China. From this survey, we learned that the injury spots of Moso bamboo leaves remained at least one year after the pest mite occurrence. We made a simulation model, which was describing a system with one common predator, and two prey species on two different plants. By using this model, we found theoretically that the outbreak of bamboo pest mite did not occur in a bamboo forest with silver grass.
