Crowdsourcing genomic analyses of ash and ash dieback – power to the people [PDF]
GigaScience, 2013 Ash dieback is a devastating fungal disease of ash trees that has swept across Europe and recently reached the UK. This emergent pathogen has received little study in the past and its effect threatens to overwhelm the ash population.

Ability of the ash dieback pathogen to reproduce and to induce damage on its host are controlled by different environmental parameters. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2023 Ash dieback, induced by an invasive ascomycete, Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, has emerged in the late 1990s as a severe disease threatening ash populations in Europe.

Transformation of European Ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) Callus as a Starting Point for Understanding the Molecular Basis of Ash Dieback [PDF]
Plants, 2021 The population of European ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) is currently facing the risk of collapse, mainly due to ash dieback, a disease caused by a pathogenic fungus, Hymenoscyphus fraxineus.

Diplodia fraxini: The Main Pathogen Involved in the Ash Dieback of Fraxinus angustifolia in Croatia [PDF]
MicroorganismsFraxinus angustifolia, the main ash species in Croatia in terms of economic and ecological importance, is affected by a severe dieback initially attributed to the fungal pathogen Hymenoscyphus fraxineus.

Ash Dieback and Its Impact in Near-Natural Forest Remnants – A Plant Community-Based Inventory [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Temperate European forests are currently largely under attack by the infection with Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, a fungal pathogen introduced from Asia since at least the early 1990s and causing a major dieback of common ash (Fraxinus excelsior) throughout ...

Statistics of ash dieback in Latvia [PDF]
Silva Fennica, 2018 Dieback of the common ash ( L.) has been spreading throughout Europe since the 1990s, causing severe ecological and economical consequences; however, detailed statistics on its dynamics have been published rarely.

The Endophytic Mycobiome of European Ash and Sycamore Maple Leaves – Geographic Patterns, Host Specificity and Influence of Ash Dieback [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 The European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) is threatened by the introduced ascomycete Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, the causal agent of ash dieback. Endophytic fungi are known to modulate their host’s resistance against pathogens.

Forest Topsoil Organic Carbon Declines Under Ash Dieback. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolABSTRACTTree diseases are increasingly affecting woodland ecosystems across the world. However, the impact of these diseases upon the soil, and in particular soil carbon, is still poorly understood. Here we present the results of a field survey of ~100 woodlands across Great Britain measured in 1971, 2001 and 2022 and evaluate the fifty‐year trend in ...

Climate change and the ash dieback crisis. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 AbstractBeyond the direct influence of climate change on species distribution and phenology, indirect effects may also arise from perturbations in species interactions. Infectious diseases are strong biotic forces that can precipitate population declines and lead to biodiversity loss.
