    Brief

    Defra seeks research support to enhance pest risk analyses and emergency outbreak management capabilities for UK plant pests and pathogens. This project will integrate climate monitoring and projection data with expertise in pest and pathogen risk management to assess future risks to UK host plant species. Deliverables include a user-friendly web tool that combines climate change projections with microclimate analysis to identify locations and species most vulnerable to pest and pathogen threats. The work builds on previous tool development efforts and contributes to establishing an integrated climate-plant pest risk system for the UK. Suppliers should have expertise in climate data integration, pest/pathogen risk analysis, web tool development, and microclimate modeling.
