It would be really great if the resistance to ash dieback worked, as the disease is wiping out masses of ash trees. In the article it states that this could wipe out up to 70% of all ash trees, which would drastically affect everyone and everything around these trees. Habitats could be destroyed, humans would be affected, and ecosystems would be harmed. This would be a very extreme change and would negatively affect the environment. It is great that scientists are researching matters like this, as they are very important regarding the state of our environment. Although we are not there yet, in the future it would be great to eventually stop ash dieback from damaging trees at all, creating some sort of cure.
