Article Synopsis
- Pine wilt disease (PWD) is a significant pest affecting pine trees in Asia and Europe, and its spread in China requires evaluation to control its transmission routes.
- A MaxEnt model was used to predict the geographical distribution and potential spread of the disease and its insect vectors (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, Monochamus alternatus, and M. saltuarius) in China, highlighting areas of future concern.
- This study is the first of its kind in China to explore the diffusion of PWD through insect vectors, offering crucial insights for developing management strategies against the disease.

In this study, five uniform Masson pine stand types infected by PWD were selected and surveyed on slopes and aspects with similar environmental conditions. In sites that had been infected, soil bulk density was reduced, and the difference among the groups was statistically significant (P < 0.
