Published, peer - reviewed science has emerged from several projects involving citizen science, Gustetic said, including the monitoring of
sudden oak death affecting trees
in California.
In theory, the disease could be halted by limiting people's access to unaffected areas, but that would be a very unpopular policy and perhaps impossible to implement, he says.The rapid spread of sudden oak death is «such a dynamic system that a lot of our tools in ecology for understanding and predicting patterns are inadequate,» says Rick Ostfeld of the Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, New Yor
