Assessment of the
range of the processionary moth in relation to the extension of pine
stands.
Predictive model,
based on temperature and insect performance related to global change,
of further expansion of the processionary moth and associated risk of
outbreak in EU countries.
Estimation
of the present and potential impact of the pest on the economy and society
of the EU countries.
D1 - Method
to assess the socio-economic impact of the pine processionary moth in
different environmental and management conditions.
D2
- GIS supported model for the assessment of the range of the processionary
moth, based on the temperatures affecting the winter survival of the larvae
and insect performance. The tool will be accessible through the web page
of the project and will allow to test different scenarios related to global
change effects.
