Benefits of invasion prevention: Effect of time lags, spread rates, and damage persistence (2015, methodology): “Roughly following Kovacs et al. (2010), these spread scenarios were combined with information about numbers of urban ash per county to reconstruct historical damage as well as project damage into the future, as measured by the cost of removal and replacement of dying ash trees.”
Distribution, impact and rate of spread of emerald ash borer Agrilus planipennis (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) in the Moscow region of Russia (2013, background): “The cost to the US economy over the 10-year period from 2009 to 2019, in terms of tree removal and replacement alone, is expected to exceed $10 billion (Kovacs et al., 2010).”
Economics of invasive species policy and management (2017, background): “Estimating invader damage impacts requires accounting for bioeconomic features of the invasion, including spread, control, and damage processes (Kovacs et al. 2010, 2011a, b; Haight et al. 2011).”
Risk Analysis and Bioeconomics of Invasive Species to Inform Policy and Management (2016, background): “(86) combine a spread model for the emerald ash borer with costs of treating, removing, and replacing trees within that footprint to calculate potential impact of the emerald ash borer.”
Urban trees: bridge-heads for forest pest invasions and sentinels for early detection (2017, unknown): “Where detailed cost–beneﬁt analyses have been conducted, there is a strong justiﬁcation for substantial investment in eradication, containment, management, research and public outreach (Faccoli and Gatto 2015; Haight et al. 2011; Kovacs et al. 2010, 2011b).”
Emerald ash borer invasion of North America: history, biology, ecology, impacts, and management. (2014, background): “Much of the economic impact of EAB is associated with treatment and/or removal and replacement of high-value trees in urban and residential areas (48).”
Progress and Challenges of Protecting North American Ash Trees from the Emerald Ash Borer Using Biological Control (2018, background): “A cost projection of EAB in just 25 northeastern communities of the United States for only one decade (2009–2019) to treat, remove, and replace landscape ash was $25 billion [49], making EAB the most destructive and costly wood-boring insect to invade the United States [50].”
Evaluation of potential strategies to SLow Ash Mortality (SLAM) caused by emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis): SLAM in an urban forest (2012, background): “Costs of replacing or treating landscape ash trees in urban and suburban areas of the USA were projected to exceed US $10–20 billion between 2009 and 2019 (Kovacs et al. 2010).”
Invasive Cerambycid Pests and Biosecurity Measures (2017, background): “…comb. nov., in Europe (Pautasso et al. 2013; Baral 2014)] and the buprestid emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, in the United States (Kovacs et al. 2010)—have in some cases caused greater damage; the potential to counter outbreaks of some cerambycids is often larger in part due to…”
