Abstract:?Poplar is a fast-growing tree species widely planted in the north of the Yangtze River Basin in China, and large areas of plantation poplar shelterbelt and timber forests are seriously threatened by poplar pests, so it is of great significance to collate and establish a dataset of poplar pest information for poplar pest risk identification and assessment. Based on the search and collection of historical literature and data, this dataset is standardized and summarized to clarify the number of reported poplar pests in China, the hazard types, the hazard tree species and the distribution provinces. This data will not only be helpful for further research on poplar pest control, pest risk assessment, and analysis of poplar pest diversity and geographic differences, but also provide basic reference data for future research on poplar pest image visualization.
