- •
We review the potential ecological impact of the fungal disease ash dieback.
- •
953 ash-associated species were identified including 44 obligate species.
- •
Compared to other tree species the ecological functioning of ash is very different.
- •
The potential of alternative tree species to replace ash is assessed.
- •
Management that does not remove infected ash is better for biodiversity.
