Abstract
Foliar insect herbivory is a growing global threat to the health and productivity of forests. Timely and spatially explicit monitoring is essential for effective silvicultural interventions. Remote sensing (RS) technologies are powerful tools for detecting, mapping, and monitoring insect herbivory, offering scalable alternatives to traditional ground-based methods. This systematic review synthesises findings from 60 studies published between 2010 and February 2026, categorising them by insect feeding guilds and operational scales to identify key advancements, research gaps, and future opportunities.

期刊介绍:
Current Forestry Reports features in-depth review articles written by global experts on significant advancements in forestry. Its goal is to provide clear, insightful, and balanced contributions that highlight and summarize important topics for forestry researchers and managers.
To achieve this, the journal appoints international authorities as Section Editors in various key subject areas like physiological processes, tree genetics, forest management, remote sensing, and wood structure and function. These Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that focus on new developments and recently published papers of great importance. Moreover, an international Editorial Board evaluates the yearly table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their specific country or region, and ensures that the topics are up-to-date and include emerging research.
