“… Trade flows of plants for planting, as reported in the ISEFOR database (section 2.1.2): the overall trade of plants for planting for each plant species was ranked in five categories based on the yearly average of plants imported from all Third Countries into the EU, calculated over the whole period covered by the database: below 1 000 plants, between 1 000 and 9 999 plants, between 10 000 and 99 999 plants, between 100 000 and 999 999 plants, more than 1 000 000 plants. The overall trade from all Third Countries was considered as it was deemed a better indicator of the trade flow than the trade only from countries where X. fastidiosa is reported, due to the dynamic nature in the trade of plants for planting (Brasier 2008;Dehnen-Schmutz et al 2010;Grousset et al 2012;Pautasso and Jeger 2014).…”

Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to provide urgent technical assistance in the field of plant health as regards the list of host plants of Xylella fastidiosa reported in Appendix В of the recently published EFSA Scientific Opinion on X. fastidiosa. In this technical report the list of host plants is categorised focusing on plant species traded as plants for planting and taking into account available data and information on the trade and cultivation of host plants and on infection with X. fastidiosa. Based on this characterisation, a definition of the host plants of X. fastidiosa which have been both (1) naturally infected and (2) confirmed by at least two different testing methods is provided, together with indication when vector transmission has been confirmed by two testing methods. An electronic dataset is appended to this technical report and provides a searchable list of host plant species.

“…For example, not all research papers on forests, forestry and forest health are published in forest-, forestry-or forest health-related journals, respectively [76,77]. Moreover, scientometric patterns can differ among different databases, e.g., Web of Science and Google Scholar, as the latter includes more journals and also tends to cover the full text of articles available online [78].…”

Abstract:Maintaining forest health is a worldwide challenge due to emerging tree diseases, shifts in climate conditions and other global change stressors. Research on forest health is thus accumulating rapidly, but there has been little use of scientometric approaches in forest pathology and dendrology. Scientometrics is the quantitative study of trends in the scientific literature. As with all tools, scientometrics needs to be used carefully (e.g., by checking findings in multiple databases) and its results must be interpreted with caution. In this overview, we provide some examples of studies of patterns in the scientific literature related to forest health and tree pathogens. Whilst research on ash dieback has increased rapidly over the last years, papers mentioning the Waldsterben have become rare in the literature. As with human health and diseases, but in contrast to plant health and diseases, there are consistently more publications mentioning "tree health" than "tree disease," possibly a consequence of the often holistic nature of forest pathology. Scientometric tools can help balance research attention towards understudied emerging risks to forest trees, as well as identify temporal trends in public interest in forests and their health.
