Responses of European Forests and Society to Invasive Pathogens

Invasive alien species pose a serious global threat to biodiversity by competing with native organisms for limited resources and by their ability to modify entire landscapes. Invasions of forest pathogens generally occur at a large scale affecting tree species with a widespread distribution in Europe.

RESIPATH will work on tree species currently threatened by different invasive pathogens (i.e. elm, ash, alder and oak). The selected tree species are not only an integral part of their ecosystems but are also economically important and supply crucial environmental services to European society, such as biodiversity, watershed protection, stabilisation of river banks, as well as recreational and cultural values.

Although widespread, the different invasive pathogens to be studied here have not yet affected the entire tree population in Europe. Working at a European scale will allow studying invasions at different stages and along gradients far exceeding those obtained at a national scale. Due to different mortality patterns, it is possible to study the differential effects on both host and pathogen population in terms of demographics and evolution.
