Useful EAB information in this paper by Davydenko et al "infection by ADB is likely to predispose F. excelsior to the infestation by EAB" doi.org/10.3390/f13050…

Interesting to read this pre-print on the influence of climate on ash dieback damage and wonder "what does this mean for trees in the UK?"

A HEALED Ash tree in the provenance trial at @Earth_trust with a healthy green crown with an amazing healed lesion preventing the disease progressing. The #LivingAsh Project are very interested in finding trees just like this! livingashproject.org.uk #ash

This paper shows discovery of a species of bacteria in healthy #ash trees that appears to provide natural protection against ash dieback! An inoculation experiment with ash seedlings demonstrated suppression of the pathogen: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #ashdieback

One of the finest ancient ash trees I've ever seen. #trees #nature #biology #plants #conservation

Ten years after ash die was confirmed in England I'm filming in the gorgeous Norfolk Wildlife Trust Lower Wood with BBC East. Lots learnt and plenty of reasons to be positive. On tonight at 6.30!

Day 2 of #folktaleweek2022 - spotlight on #trees. It's fascinating to see trees emerge in different ways. The #ashtree was once regarded as a tree of healing and rebirth yet its place in Oliphant's lyrics of Welsh folk song 'The Ash Grove' is harrowing, a grove of love and loss.

1/ Great to have Dr Stephen Parnell (Dr Stephen Parnell) present at the SBIDER seminar this week on "Detection and control of invasive plant diseases; an epidemiological modelling approach". One prominent theme was surveillance. A thread to highlight papers associated with the talk.

Loss of ash trees reduces landscape connectivity. Bad news for nice invertebrates. Perhaps good news in terms of slowing spread of pests and pathogens? sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

NEW BLOG: Ten years ago, Barnaby was among Forestry Commission & APHA colleagues who discovered that the ash dieback fungus had infected ash trees in the UK's countryside. Read his insightful blog about what happened next: forestrycommission.blog.gov.uk/2022/12/06/ref… #TreeHealth

Fantastic update from Vasthi Alonso on the SMARTIES project! Using both epidemiology and stakeholder behaviour to model threats to ash. Thank you for involving #observatree data 😃 #trees4cbp

Fantastic to present our results modelling the effects of ash dieback on spread and detection of emerald ash borer beetle in Britain. Alice Milne and Vasthi Alonso Chavez Rothamsted Research Nathan Brown Forest Research and my boss Dr Stephen Parnell Warwick Crop Centre Warwick Uni SBIDER #IEW13

Really cool talk by Dr Matt Combes on modeling how the Ash Dieback epidemic in the UK affected the spread, detection and control of the new Emerald Ash Borer outbreak #IEW13 #sketchnotes

📢NEW PAPER! Improved surveillance of home firewood could help protect UK ash trees from a voracious new killer: the emerald ash borer 🪲🌳 Forest Research @UCDPlantPath Life Sciences SEI Research Full story 👇 rothamsted.ac.uk/news/early-det…

Our paper on targeted surveillance and stakeholders perspectives is out! Take a look!
