Spotlight on genetic diversity: An unseen ally in adapting forests to drought

FOREST EUROPE Webinar

 

FOREST EUROPE continues with its successful webinar series “From the roots to the canopy” this time teaming up with FORGENIUS and EUFORGEN to talk about FOREST ADAPTATION TO DROUGHT STRESS.

With our new webinar, “SPOTLIGHT ON GENETIC DIVERSITY: An unseen ally in adapting forests to drought,” we aim to provide an understanding of the genetics underlying drought adaptation.

During this webinar, we will learn what happens to a tree under drought and how drought is affecting European forests. How does drought stress vary among species, among populations, among individual trees and how do we understand the genetic bases of such variation? Why does it matter, and how can this knowledge be applied in practice?

Open to everyone interested!

The webinar will be happening on 15th April at 10:00 CEST, for more information follow the link to the FOREST EUROPE website.
