Conditions of emergence of the Sooty Bark Disease and aerobiology of Cryptostroma corticale in Europe


	Model prediction of standardised SBD report rate as a function of water balance (measured as P-ETP) of the vegetative season (April-August) of the year previous to the disease report (a). Evolution of standardised SBD reports from 1990 to 2021 in France and Switzerland (b), and model predictions (Eq. 2). A dotted grey line indicates a standardised record rate that equals 1, above which the number of cases of the SBD is higher than average, and hence considered an outbreak of the disease.
