Development of improved methods for detection, control and eradication of pine wood nematode in support of EU Plant Health policy (REPHRAME)
Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,
Europe’s pine forests are a valuable economic, social and environmental resource under threat from the introduction of the pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus.

Increasing Sustainability of European Forests: Modelling for Security Against Invasive Pests and Pathogens under Climate Change (ISEFOR)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2014,
"European forests are under unprecedented threat from the combined forces of climate change and large increases in the numbers of alien invasive pests and pathogens resulting from changes in patterns of global trade. Interactions between climate change, including likely changes in both mean temperatures and precipitation, will have serious impacts on the susceptibility of forest ecosystems to dama ...
