Summary

This dataset contains a model, input data and outputs of the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB; Agrilus planipennis) lifecycle and spread across Great Britain. Nine different scenarios are considered related to how certain we are that EAB will arrive through known pathways related to wood imports (70%, 50%, 30%) and the probability that EAB would escape at port rather than at the onwards depots (25%, 50%, 75%). The model outputs can be used to predict the best places to locate surveillance technologies (i.e., girdled trees or traps) and included in this dataset are optimised trap locations for 27 scenarios (three trapping types for each of the nine different scenarios).
