European Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) as a Functional Keystone Species Shaping Woodland Flora in the UK
Ash trees have distinct ecological attributes—their canopy allows a high level of light to penetrate and their foliage decomposes rapidly. Here we used woodland survey data to explore if the prevalence of ash trees has an impact on associated plant communities at a fine spatial scale.

Developing Blight-Tolerant American Chestnut Trees [PDF]
An invasive fungal pathogen has reduced the American chestnut (Castanea dentata), once a keystone tree species within its natural range in the eastern United States and Canada, to functional extinction. To help restore this important canopy tree, blight-tolerant American chestnut trees have been developed using an oxalate oxidase-encoding gene from ...
