Abstract
It is becoming increasingly clear that climate change has the potential to alter the distribution of plant species all over the world. In the United States, ash (
Fraxinus spp.) is encountering the double threat of short-term emerald ash borer (EAB) infestation, which could decimate ash throughout the country, and longer term perturbations due to climate change.
