Long-term changes in forest composition and diversity following early logging (1919–1923) and the decline of American chestnut (Castanea dentata) (2008, background): “dentata has been directed to the development of hybrids for the reintroduction of the species (Forest et al. 1990; Hebard 2004; Jacobs 2007), and development and reintroduction of hybrids would obviously alter the genetic structure of the species.”
Ash dieback in the UK: A review of the ecological and conservation implications and potential management options (2014, background): “The abundance of a tree species can change rapidly when attacked by non-native pests/diseases; for example the near complete loss of Castanea dentata in North America because of chestnut blight (Jacobs, 2007) and the loss of Ulmus spp.”
European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) dieback - a conservation biology challenge. (2013, methodology): “this approach (e.g. Vigouroux and Olivier, 2004; Solla et al., 2005; Jacobs, 2007).”
Banking on the future: progress, challenges and opportunities for the genetic conservation of forest trees (2017, background): “Management includes silvicultural treatments such as thinning and prescribed fire to increase resistance to threats (Jacobs 2007), and the use of assisted colonization to increase genetic diversity by establishing populations adapted to future climates within or adjacent to reserves (St Clair and…”
