Irish Forestry Pest Dataset (1970-2020)

Information on forest pest outbreaks, their management and surveillance activity for both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are documented in a series of forestry annual governmental reports (written by the Northern Ireland Forestry Service, Coillte, The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the Republic of Ireland Forestry and Wildlife Service). We collated 102 of these annual reports covering the period 1970 - 2020 (51 reports for each of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland). The information on forestry pests available in these reports was digitised via a data extraction protocol and a dataset of the results of this are recorded in the ODonnell_et_al_2024.csv file.

The readme file README_ODonnell_et_al_2024.txt is intended to explain the ODonnell_et_al_2024.csv file, and all of the information contained within.

本数据集收录了北爱尔兰（Northern Ireland）与爱尔兰共和国（Republic of Ireland）的森林虫害暴发、防治及监测活动相关信息，相关内容由一系列林业年度政府报告记载，撰写主体包括北爱尔兰林业署（Northern Ireland Forestry Service）、Coillte公司、爱尔兰农业、食品与海事部（The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine）以及爱尔兰共和国林业与野生动物署（Republic of Ireland Forestry and Wildlife Service）。我们共汇编了1970年至2020年间的102份年度报告，其中北爱尔兰与爱尔兰共和国各51份。报告中涉及林业虫害的相关信息通过标准化数据提取规程完成数字化处理，该处理所得的数据集已收录于O’Donnell_et_al_2024.csv文件中。
本数据集附带的README_ODonnell_et_al_2024.txt文件用于对O’Donnell_et_al_2024.csv文件及其包含的全部信息进行详细说明。
