Britain's ash trees evolving resistance to dieback, study shows

New scientific evidence reveals that Britain's cherished ash trees are evolving greater resistance to the devastating ash dieback disease, offering hope for their survival. Despite predictions of extensive losses when the disease arrived in 2012, ash woodlands are showing signs of natural adaptation. Scientists emphasize the importance of supporting natural regeneration in woodlands and implementing interventions like protecting trees from deer grazing to ensure the continued presence of ash trees in the British landscape. The study's findings demonstrate the resilience of ash trees and the importance of conservation efforts in preserving biodiversity.
