Dataset corresponding to "Alternative bio-based approaches to complement spruce bark beetle management: feasibility, limitations, and future perspectives"

We first carried out a systematic literature review and a bibliometric analysis of the publications spanning the years 1970 to 2024. These results were condensed in figure 1; the query results of this search are documented in the file “Supplement-1_Literature Search for Fig 1.slsx”.

We then implemented an evaluation framework to asses the feasibility of the applications of each approach under real field conditions. The results were summarized in a matrix in figure 4. The evaluation criteria used to score each approach are documented in the file “Supplement-2_Tab1_Evaluation-matrix_Classification.xlsx”.
