Researchers in Britain fear the death of many of the trees native to the country. Trees have been struggling with various diseases after a host of microbes have attacked them. The new diseases are not indigenous to Britain, but are thought to have originated from warmer countries. Global warming has contributed to enhancing the ability of the microbes to survive in Britain’s cold wet weather.

Plants all over the country have been struggling with various environmental stresses. Increasing signs of struggle have become apparent in many species of trees, including a loss of leaves and a slow death. Environmentalists are becoming more aware and fearful of the changes occurring due primarily to the higher temperatures brought on by global warming.
