A spatio-temporal dataset of plant pests’ first introductions across the EU and potential entry pathways - Scientific Data

The document contains three data sheets available for download: 1. Sheet "Pests’ introduction dataset": containing a list of pests introduced in the EU, between 1999 and 2019, the year of first introduction, host plants, and spatial information on the location where the pest was first found according to the literature (either at NUTS 0, 1, 2, 3, LAU or point level). 2. Sheet "Pests’ taxonomy": detailing the taxonomy of the pests and their regulated status in the EU. 3. Sheet "Pests’ pathways": containing the potential pathways of entry per each pest, with the corresponding level of uncertainty considering all potential pathways together.
