Schematic representation of the sentinel arboretum (botanical garden) concept. The exotic and native tree species cultivated in the same area/environment are cross-exposed to inoculum harbored by each of the species. The identification of causal agents of different symptomatologies provides a list of new pests or pathogens potentially harmful to those plants in their native environments.
