Summary

This dataset is a ranked list of risks to Scotland from 196 Phytophthora species, including most of the approximately 240 formally described or provisionally named species in the genus globally. Arrival and establishment risks are scored and joined with information on surveillance of known hosts within inspected premises in Scotland (introduction risks). Potential impacts are scored using information on global Phytophthora-host interactions extracted from a global database of Phytophthora records to identify at risk hosts and score the level of threat to hosts and habitats within Scotland. The ranked list was developed to support prioritisation among future Phytophthora threats to Scotland. All risks were scored by the UKCEH project team, informed by a self-completion survey and two workshops with 15 stakeholders from across Scotland's plant health sector, including forestry, conservation, horticulture, and government agencies.
