Abstract
This paper is devoted to the investigation of the simplest mathematical models of non-even-age forests affected by insect pests. Two extremely simple situations are considered: 1) the pest feeds only on young trees; 2) the pest feeds only on old trees. It is shown that an invasion of a small number of pests into a steady-state forest ecosystem could result in intensive oscillations of its age structure. Possible implications of environmental changes on forest ecosystems are also considered.
