SMARTIES

An interdisciplinary @NERCscience project investigating multiple threats to ash in the UK. Stakeholder opinions are at the centre of our modelling approach.

[SMARTIES @AshTreescapes]

We will focus on ash. The health of UK ash is already affected by Ash Dieback and will be further impacted by Emerald Ash Borer should it arrive

How should we manage our trees?

a @NERCscience collaboration by @Rothamsted @Forest_Research @SalfordUni @UniOfYork will investigate

Early detection strategies for invading tree pests: Targeted surveillance and stakeholder perspectives 🌳

@AshTreescapes team just published a surveillance map for potential incursions of the emerald ash borer in GB, a useful tool in biosecurity 🪲

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

Really cool talk by @matthewcombes_ 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

[Dr Matt Combes @matthewcombes_]

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 @N_Brown_81 @Forest_Research and my boss @parnells @WarwickCrop @WarwickSBIDER #IEW13

[Rebecca Gosling @bec_goose]

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

NEW BLOG: Ten years ago, Barnaby was among Forestry Commission & @APHAgovuk 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:

Loss of ash trees reduces landscape connectivity. Bad news for nice invertebrates. Perhaps good news in terms of slowing spread of pests and pathogens? https://t.co/VNzukdRHuO

1/ Great to have Dr Stephen Parnell (@parnells) 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.

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.

[Steve Scott @SteveScottFC]

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

*Job Alert* A great opportunity to work at the University of Warwick using your quantitative skills to improve #treehealth 📈🌳, working closely with UK policymakers.

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

[Future Trees Trust @FutureTreesUK]

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:

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!

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?"

[bioRxiv @biorxivpreprint]

Ability of the Ash dieback pathogen to reproduce and to induce damage on its host are controlled by different environmental parameters https://t.co/TzBWeHbxW7 #bioRxiv

Useful EAB information in this paper by Davydenko et al

"infection by ADB is likely to predispose F. excelsior to the infestation by EAB"
