Scientists bank 22,000 black ash seeds to counter invasive beetle threat
0
·1 viewsAn invasive beetle has devastated wild black ash tree populations, prompting a major conservation response from scientists. Researchers have successfully cultivated 22,000 black ash seeds as part of an effort to preserve the species' genetic diversity. Artificial intelligence was used to analyze the seeds and identify regional variations across the collected samples. The seed bank is intended to serve as a safety net, supporting future forest restoration and breeding programs. The initiative aims to prevent the permanent loss of black ash from ecosystems under threat from the beetle's spread.
