This report provides a review of the Forest Trapping Network Year Two rollout

Summary This Letter to the Editor of the international journal ‘Phytopathology’ lays out the case for retaining the historic and well recognised name Phytophthora, which is applied to a genus of highly significant plant destroying pathogens. The authors’ case is based on strong biological and genetic evidence, but also emphasises...

Acute oak decline (AOD), a decline syndrome affecting mature oaks, involves bacterial pathogens which likely act as opportunists under host stress. Trees displaying symptoms (bleeding cankers) appear in localized clusters, not whole stands. This study investigates the potential involvement of local-scale factors, in interaction with large-scale environmental drivers, in influencing...

How will the changing environment impact bark-boring insects? Climate change projections indicate more frequent extreme weather events, such as storms, heatwaves, droughts, and floods. One of the likely consequences of this will be an abundance of stressed trees with weakened defences against pests, creating favourable conditions for some species of...

This document is an Annex to the Welsh Plant Health Surveillance Network Programme 2022 Review, and reports on the third year of the WPHSN activities undertaken on behalf of the Welsh Government. It describes a network of insect and spore traps placed at strategic woodland sites across Wales to monitor...

This report summarises the results of a national baseline survey on public attitudes to plant health.

Overview This article, published in the Journal of Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGjournal), outlines the work of the Welsh Plant Health Surveillance Network (WPHSN), a Welsh Government funded plant health initiative. Launched in 2022 by Forest Research (FR), the primary aim of the WPHSN is to monitor the presence and...

This document describes and reports on the first year of activities undertaken for the Welsh Plant Health Surveillance Network (WPHSN), a ground-breaking Welsh Government funded project to monitor native and invasive pests and pathogens that may pose a threat to health of plants and trees across Wales.

The Forest Trapping Network (FTN) forms a major part of GB's Future Surveillance Plan (FSP). The FTN specifically targets quarantine and priority species which other survey methods cannot detect.
