Climate change promotes bark beetle outbreaks in conifer forests, and the Norway spruce – Ips typographus system in Eurasia is particularly well studied. Field experiments and modelling approaches help to better understand this important pathosystem and to develop risk assessment and early warning frameworks that support timely bark beetle control measures.
Engage with Dr. Sigrid Netherer and explore:
risk assessment of forest insect disturbances
interactions between host trees, bark beetles and associated fungi
insights from field experiments and modelling approaches
implications for forest practice
The talk will take place on Friday, 15 May at 13:30 and will be held in the Wood Technology Pavilion, room DP 410.
We look forward to welcoming you in person !

Senior Scientist in the Institute of Forest Entomology, Forest Pathology and Forest Protection (IFFF) at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU), Austria.
Research Focus: Forest pest insects, bark beetles, risk assessment, drought stress, host tree - bark beetle interactions
