SuddenOakDeath

These weather conditions at the moment seem perfect for the spread of SOD, I am Prediciting these Low pressure systems / Autumnal storms are going to hasten the spread of Phytophthora spores. Keep your eyes peeled N.B I am not doing this for my dissertation anymore but still gonna keep this project up and running to see if we can get any sightings

They are susceptible to the disease but its really Japanese Larch trees which are taking the brunt Did anyone see BBC Breakfast this morning, they had a small report about the hugeincrease in tree disease affecting the UK (including P.Ramorum)

Hey thanks so much for your effort but the Pathogen dosen't actually affect UK Oak Trees. The Pathogen got its name from affected four types of oak tree in the USA. It the UK the main species affected Incdlue Japanese Larch, Rhoderdendrum and Vibrumum plants Sorry for the confusion but thanks again for taking the effort

Sorry will not make any new ones. I had to make a second thread because I couldn't edit my post/brochure in my first thread. Is it ok to keep this updated every day though?

Sudden Oak Death has now recently been found in Scotland and is an emerging threat in Northern Ireland ... BBC News - Taskforce to tackle tree killer in the Belfast Hills If anyone works in near suspected areas infected with the disease and has an iPhone/Android Mobile .... Please map it

No submissions so far , Won't give up though

Hey guys, I am currently in my 3rd year of studying Geography with Environmental Studies at Southampton Solent University. For my dissertation project I am proposing the use of a Smartphone application; Epicollect, to map the distribution and spread of Sudden Oak Death. This Poster/ Brochure explains how Data collection would work As most of you are aware Sudden Oak Death; caused by the pathogen Phytophthora ramorum, is already causing widespread damage to trees within the UK and the situation is bound to get worse. It would be interesting to know if anyone on here has come across had experiences with the disease and/or information on areas that they work in which are close to areas affected by the disease. If anyone here has an Android Device/iPhone and spots a suspected case of Sudden Oak Death, It would be greatly appriecated if they could take their time to download the application, answer the short questionnaire along with their GPS location + Photo and then Syncronise their data entry to the main website. Thanks and again I am very keen to hear of peoples experiences with the disease
