俄俄州的罕见果园面临着由于入侵物种而被移除, Ohio's rare apple grove faces removal due to invasive species, setting back disease-resistant breeding efforts.

俄俄州的戴斯植物园里有一片罕见的果树林, 20 年前由一位研究人员用中亚种子种植了它. 到2027年将要被移除. A rare apple grove at Ohio's Dawes Arboretum, planted by a researcher two decades ago with seeds from Central Asia, faces removal by 2027. 植物园指出, 不被管理的入侵物种是原因, 但科学家认为这组树木是一个不可替代的遗传资源, The arboretum cites unmanaged invasive species as the reason, but scientists argue the collection is an irreplaceable genetic resource vital for developing disease-resistant apples and reducing pesticide use. 虽然还剩下几棵树, 但支持者说这种损失将使美国的繁殖努力倒退数十年. While a few trees will remain, advocates say the loss would set back U.S. breeding efforts by decades.
