Phytophthora (PC) Observations contains the location of confirmed, known or likely incidences of the plant pathogen Phytophthora cinnamoni. Previously confirmed sites have been subject to soil testing from monitoring via either Sustainable Timbers Tasmania (Forestry) or Natural and Cultural Heritage (DPIPWE).
Dying plant species maybe a symptom of an active Phytophthora infestation.
This layer is a compilation of records from the Natural Values Atlas (DPIPWE) https://www.naturalvaluesatlas.tas.gov.au/ which contain DPIPWE, PWS and other agency records.
The function of this layer is most relevant to PWS operations. Features are either mapped as points (small isolation's on affected plants) or polygons (larger vegetated areas that appear to be impacted by Phytophthora).
