Proceedings of symposium on ash in North America

Abstract

Includes 5 papers and 30 abstracts covering topics related to the biology and ecology of the ash species, ash utilization and management, emerald ash borer, and other threats to ash, and genetics and conservation of ash species.

A paper titled "Population-level variation of Fraxinus americana L. is influenced by climate differences across the native range" has been retracted by the author on February 8, 2016. Pages 45-53.
