Abstract

Key message
The geospatial dataset describes large-scale applications of insecticides to forests from 1968 to 2017 in the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) and Nova Scotia (NS), Canada. The data was assembled to provide a historical record of forested land management practices to control insect populations (Heartz et al. 2024). These data are useful for research into the efficacy and long-term environmental impacts, which will inform future pest management decision-making. Dataset access is at https://doi.org/10.23687/463c5141-39ad-4734-85a5-755049f93e60.
