Research Shows Natural Selection at Work
Recent studies reveal that ash woodlands are developing a resistance to ash dieback. This exciting discovery comes from researchers at Kew, who found that natural selection is playing a pivotal role in helping these trees combat this devastating disease. The findings suggest a hopeful path forward for the future of ash trees, which have been severely impacted by dieback in recent years.
The implications of this research are significant for conservation efforts. By understanding how these trees adapt in the face of adversity, we can better strategize on preserving ash woodlands. The evidence of resistance highlights the resilience of nature and the importance of ongoing research in plant health.
