Defra said the funding will pay for a new facility at the UK’s Forest Research Alice Holt Research Station in Surrey.
Britain’s leading forest research centre will receive £4 million from the Government to help tackle pests and pathogens threatening trees across the country.
This will expand the capacity of the existing Holt laboratory by almost double and boost researchers’ capability to study tree disease-spreading beetles, Defra added. Climate change is causing a rise in the number of pests seen in recent years, including an increase in the eight-toothed spruce bark beetle Ips typographus as well as ongoing responses to Phytophthora ramorum and oak processionary moth.
Experts say trees must be protected as they play a vital role in the fight against climate change This includes the Emerald ash borer – an exotic green beetle from Asia which caused significant damage to ash trees in North America – and Xylella, a bacterial disease which has devastated olive trees in France and Italy.
