What I've seen and (briefly) read from this article seem to agree - as soon as the Emerald Ash Borer appears in the UK, it's game over for us. We've (UK) been suffering from ash dieback in a very large way, and although we seem to have got it under containment via selective killing/leaving to rot of certain trees we're very aware that a large proportion of our remaining Ash's could go very quickly. I know of a few people that have worked with trying to work with different lichen species that favour Ash trees and transplant them onto others with varying success - the same was tried with species that favoured Elm trees before they died back. It just seems a shame that there's not too much we can see to do about it. (This all comes from a UG perspective, albiet one with extensive lichen experience and some experience of conserving some of the oldest woodland in the UK, so other opinions very much welcomed!!)
