An investigation in 2001-2003 of problems in establishing “new native woodlands” in Scotland revealed a widespread incidence of shoot dieback in birch associated with a range of fungi. This programme was created in 2003 to carry forward the investigation of the importance of these fungi and to advise forestry practitioners and the Forestry Commission on whether they are a serious, primary factor in dieback of birch and, if so, how they may be managed.
