\"Cliff<\/a>Cities and towns with “urban forests” such as parks and streets lined with trees could spend less money by taking steps to save emerald ash borer-infested trees early rather than wait until they can only replace them, Purdue University researchers concluded in a study.<\/p>\n

Cliff Sadof<\/a>, professor of Entomology\u00a0and Matt Ginzel<\/a>, associate professor in the Department of Entomology and Department of Forestry and Natural Resources,\u00a0developed a model to help foresters predict the progression of ash decline over time. This model helps them use early reports of damaged trees to alert the community to the imminent threat posed by EAB. The percentage of damaged ash trees in a city typically doubles every year.<\/p>\n
