Project Abstract
Climate, and in particular temperature, is a key driver of plant pest and pathogen outbreaks and therefore a key factor to understand and consider in the policy and management of Ireland�s biosecurity. High quality data are available on Ireland�s current and future climate, and these data could be used to inform policy and management of biosecurity threats to plant health in Ireland. However, before this information can be used by biosecurity and plant health stakeholders two goals have to be achieved: 1/ tune quantitative models of pest and pathogen outbreaks to the needs of Irish stakeholders 2/ develop a non-technical and openly accessible online portal to view the current and future effects of climate upon pest or pathogen outbreaks.
