Simply put, there are three basic categories of tree species: native, non-native and invasive. Knowing where tree species fall into these categories may seem like trivial information, but species ...

Nature doesn’t follow blueprints, and sometimes the result is strange enough to stop you in your tracks. Around the world, ...

Ash dieback, which was first seen in the UK in 2012, causes leaf loss and crown dieback and can lead to tree death, with fears it could wipe out up to 85% of Britain’s native ash trees, as they ...

Ash dieback has threatened to devastate British woodlands (Paul Figg/RBG Kew/PA) But now researchers suggest that natural selection in the wild is taking place on thousands of locations within ash ...

Their study in the journal Science said natural selection could be occurring partly due to reduced seed or pollen production by adult trees damaged by ash dieback, and partly through the rapid death ...

Britain's trees are evolving resistance to the deadly ash dieback fungus, scientists have revealed. The disease has wrought havoc on the countryside, leaving behind the remains of dying ash trees.

“The existing genetic variation in the ash population may be too low, and as the trees become scarcer, the rate of selection could slow. “Human intervention, such as selective breeding and the ...
