[Archive] Birch dieback in Scotland

A study was initiated in 2002 to examine the fungal pathology of birch dieback in Scotland. The main objectives of this project are to investigate the fungi infecting birch shoots in Scotland, identify the primary pathogens with the ability to infect healthy trees, determine the impact of these fungi on the national woodland resource, and to develop recommendations for their management. This Note provides an update of information gained so far during the study.
