Elisabeth Pötzelsberger and colleagues gathered data on 23 non-native tree species grown in Europe. They analyzed reports from Austria, Poland, and Lithuania about the number of these species grown in those countries as well as the numbers of insect and fungus species that damage those trees. The researchers concluded that in only one of these countries are there more insect species than fungus species that pose risks to these trees.
