摘要

翠绿灰螟;EAB是一种木材蛀虫,被认为是北美最具破坏性的入侵森林昆虫之一,导致多个州的原生白蜡树(白蜡树属)几乎完全死亡。管理方案包括使用来自EAB原生范围的拟寄生蜂进行生物控制,以及使用系统杀虫剂进行化学控制。虽然这两种策略都被用于控制EAB,但公众对这些方法的支持程度尚不清楚。2023年,我们调查了美国乔治亚州东北部174名城市公园用户,以确定他们支持EAB控制的决定因素。大多数受访者以前不知道白蜡树和白蜡树,尽管他们重视公园树木提供的生态系统服务。受访者更支持生物防治而不是化学防治,认为化学防治对生态和人类福祉的风险更大。受访者对控制方法和EAB的风险认知,以及他们对白蜡树的态度影响了他们对EAB控制的支持。观鸟者不太可能支持化学控制,而喜欢坐着享受大自然的人更可能支持生物控制。研究结果表明,公园管理者应重视城市白蜡树的美学吸引力和生态系统服务,以及白蜡树的入侵影响。外联工作还应强调,控制EAB不会对生态或人类健康构成风险,寄生蜂通过控制害虫有助于确保生态系统功能,不会对人类构成风险,而且EAB的控制不会对公园内的娱乐活动产生不利影响。

Examining park users' support for emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) control in urban parks

Examining park users' support for emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) control in urban parks

Emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis Fairmare; EAB) is a woodboring beetle that is considered one of the most damaging invasive forest insects in North America, causing near-complete mortality of native ash (Fraxinus spp.) trees across multiple states. Management options include both biological control using parasitoid wasps from EAB's native range, and chemical control with systemic insecticides. Although both strategies are being used to control EAB, the public's support for these methods is not well understood. In 2023, we surveyed 174 urban park users in northeastern Georgia, United States, to identify determinants of their support for EAB control. Most respondents were not previously aware of EAB and ash trees, although they valued the ecosystem services provided by park trees. Respondents were more supportive of biological control than chemical control, perceiving greater ecological and human well-being risks from chemical control. Respondents' risk perceptions pertaining to control methods and EAB, and their attitudes towards ash trees influenced their support for EAB control. Birdwatchers were less likely to support chemical control and individuals who like to sit and enjoy nature were more likely to support biological control. Our results suggest that park managers' outreach about EAB control should emphasize the aesthetic appeal and ecosystem services provided by urban ash trees and the invasion impacts of EAB. Outreach should also highlight that EAB control does not pose ecological or human well-being risks, that parasitoid wasps help to secure ecosystem function through pest control and do not pose a risk to people, and that EAB control will not adversely impact recreational activities within the park.
