2 Outline Introduction Threats to forests History of Chalara ash dieback disease spread Biology of Hymenoscyphus fraxineus Formerly called Chalara fraxinea Identification (picture guide) Recognising other threats and reporting infected trees
3 Climate change Threats to UK Forests Summer droughts increasingly likely, especially in South and East Extreme rain and flooding events are more likely Ecosystem change especially ground plants Pests and diseases Native and exotic Low Resilience of Existing Forest Resources Low number of productive species England Conifers > 5 species = 88% of area England Broadleaves > 5 species = 72% of area Monoculture stands are most common Source: Forestry Commission England 2012

6 Date History of Hymenoscyphus fraxineus (formerly Chalara fraxinea) Event/Comment 1992 New lethal disease of ash observed in Poland Spread to other regions in Europe; causal agent unclear Early 2000s A Chalara fungus isolated from many infected trees 2006 Asexual state of the fungus identified and named Chalara fraxinea Sexual state thought to be Hymenoscyphus albidus, a widespread and previously non-lethal fungus on ash 2010 Molecular research later confirmed the sexual state is a new species, Hymenoscyphus pseudoalbidus May 2014 Revised nomenclature for the fungus has led to new name, Hymenoscyphus fraxineus

10 Chalara ash dieback in Europe Hymenoscyphus fraxineus Vascular wilt fungus Pleomorphic (two stage life cycle) Emerged as an entirely new disease in Europe in the 1990s Initially cause was unknown frost and drought both implicated in dieback symptoms Early impact Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, then Scandinavian countries Some countries 60-90% ash affected eg Denmark since Despite impact & spread, not designated as quarantine organism Source: Forestry Commission
11 There appears to be variation among Fraxinus spp. in resistance or tolerance to Hymenoscyphus fraxineus Highly susceptible Fraxinus excelsior Fraxinus angustifolia Fraxinus niger Moderately susceptible Least susceptible Fraxinus ornus Fraxinus pennsylvanica Fraxinus americana Fraxinus mandschurica

Note: The map reflects both the spread of infection, and the effectiveness of monitoring and detection.

53 Summary Forest pests and diseases are a major issue in Britain and elsewhere (Globalisation, Climate change) Chalara ash dieback disease has spread across the range of ash in Britain Vascular wilt fungus with aerial ascospores, difficult to treat/control Signs and Symptoms (lesions, leaf wilt, epicormics and evidence of ascospores on rachi) Many other threats to ash, non-lethal and lethal Vigilance is important with respect to potential introduction of emerald ash borer Public engagement is important in managing tree health issues and newly introduced threats Further Information: Reporting tree health issues:
