Abstract

The threats posed by the buprestid beetles emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) and bronze birch borer (Agrilus anxius Gory) have been the subject of considerable research, primarily to develop methods for detection and management of the pests. PREPSYS, a Euphresco project, has worked with collaborators globally to assess the ‘state of the art’ for the two insect pests and to identify those measures that would best prepare Europe for potential invasion by the pests, especially emerald ash borer which is now in the western part of Russia and in eastern Ukraine. Building on an excellent exchange of knowledge and discussion at the OECD-sponsored international conference held in Vienna in October 2018, the concept of a European Toolbox to increase preparedness for dealing with the pests has been developed. This includes key components including surveillance, direct intervention, use of natural enemies and increased awareness of the problems associated with the pests. Collaboration is essential in delivering and refining the European Toolbox.

开发一个欧洲工具箱来管理白蜡树和桦树的重要害虫祖母绿白蜡树螟虫(Agrilus planipennis)和铜桦树螟虫(Agrilus焦虑)的潜在入侵

祖母绿灰螟虫(Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire)和铜桦树螟虫(Agrilus焦虑症Gory)所构成的威胁已经成为大量研究的主题，主要是为了开发检测和管理害虫的方法。PREPSYS是Euphresco的一个项目，它与全球合作者合作，评估这两种害虫的“最新技术”，并确定哪些措施可以最好地为欧洲防范害虫的潜在入侵做好准备，尤其是目前在俄罗斯西部和乌克兰东部的绿灰螟虫。2018年10月在维也纳举行的经合组织主办的国际会议上进行了出色的知识交流和讨论，在此基础上，制定了欧洲工具箱的概念，以加强应对有害生物的准备工作。这包括关键组成部分，包括监测、直接干预、使用天敌和提高对与害虫有关的问题的认识。协作对于交付和完善欧洲工具箱至关重要。

期刊介绍： The journal is inclusive of all subjects, geographical zones and study locations, including trees in urban environments, plantations and natural forests. We welcome papers that consider economic, environmental and social factors and, in particular, studies that take an integrated approach to sustainable management. In considering suitability for publication, attention is given to the originality of contributions and their likely impact on policy and practice, as well as their contribution to the development of knowledge. Special Issues - each year one edition of Forestry will be a Special Issue and will focus on one subject in detail; this will usually be by publication of the proceedings of an international meeting.
