Ash trees are being removed when they show signs of the ash borer, a parasite that affects only ash trees and kills them off. What best explains why the ash trees are being cut down?

The ash trees are being cut when the show signs of infestation of the ash borer. Ash borer in particular the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is a tiny bug but can really do a great damage to the tree. When the tree is infested with the ash borer, they lay their eggs in the bark of tree, when the eggs hatch the lavas would start eating on the inner tissues of the tree blocking the flow of nutrients and water in the tree that causes the tree’s to death.  If the tree is infested they cut it down, burn and bury the wood to stop the spread of infestation. Ash trees are valued for its strength and elasticity that is often used to make baseball bats, bows, tool handles and other products that needs durable wood.

I give you the answer give me heart and five star

Explanation:

equal distribution i think.

1. a host loses nutrients to a parasite

2. a parasite only benefits when the host is alive (cause if the host dies the parasite dies with it )

3. producers to consumers

4. the tapeworm is a parasite

5. they convert energy from the sun (photosynthesis)

6. sunflower-robin (i think im 80% sure)

7. producer

8. consumer

9. prey

10. fresh water snails ( cause the green algea is the producer and the snails are the primary consumers and the small fish consumer so is the big fish)
