The ACORN @BiodivERsA3 project aims to identify seed sources for highly adaptable oak forests in a changing climate.

[ACORN_BiodivERsA @AcornBiodiv]

We took the opportunity of the #evoltree2023 meeting and held an in-person (!) project meeting at the silviculture faculty of the Transilvania University of Brasov. @chneophytou @NTourvas @ch_rellstab

Don't miss the poster of Simon Jansen et al. looking at the genetic structure of European white oaks in over 120 populations across the European continent! Wednesday, 13:15 local time #evoltree2023

[ACORN_BiodivERsA @AcornBiodiv]

Proud to present our preliminary results from our three oak seedling common gardens at the #evoltree2023 conference! @evoltreeNW @ch_rellstab @debbiemleigh @chneophytou

[Prof Richard Buggs @RJABuggs]

Next up @evoltreeNW is Christian Rellstab @ch_rellstab on "Identifying adaptive traits and genes to choose seed sources for climate resilient oak forests"

Winter has arrived, at least in Switzerland. Time to stop phenotyping in our provenance trials. @WSL_research

[ACORN_BiodivERsA @AcornBiodiv]

oaks oaks oaks... tissue sampling for DNA extraction in the ACORN common gardens in austria, turkey, and switzerland: done!

[ACORN_BiodivERsA @AcornBiodiv]

our new intern Cia arrived and is now measuring chlorophyll content in the ACORN common garden in switzerland. will the oak provenances differ in chlorophyll content and will we even be able to link it to regions in the genome? @debbiemleigh @WSL_research

[ACORN_BiodivERsA @AcornBiodiv]

what is this all about? the ACORN common garden at @WSL_research got an outreach update

[ACORN_BiodivERsA @AcornBiodiv]

All our best wishes for 2022! May this year be full of inspiring moments, new opportunities, and interesting results! We are grateful for the great cooperation within and beyond the project and looking forward to upcoming challenges!

[ACORN_BiodivERsA @AcornBiodiv]

DNA tissue collection on the next level. Another pedunculate oak stand sampled with tree heights over 30m, yeah!! 🙌 🏹

We are very proud to announce that @debbiemleigh started to work for the @AcornBiodiv project! Debbie will be part of the @WSL_research team that is responsible for common garden experiments and GWAS. Welcome!

[GenTree @GentreeProject]

The GenTree site Bettlachstock in Switzerland is now on the UNESCO world heritage list! This large beech forest hasn't been managed for the last 35 years and harbors over 200 year old trees.

Field collection continues! Many thanks to the forest authorities of South Tyrol for their substantial support.

[ACORN_BiodivERsA @AcornBiodiv]

And here are some photos from the field work in @AcornBiodiv in Central Europe.

[ACORN_BiodivERsA @AcornBiodiv]

Productive and interesting Kick-Off meeting yesterday!
The road is clear and we are ready to dig deeper into identifying highly adapted seed sources for European oaks in a changing climate💪

Oak leaf samples were crushed in Liquid nitrogen @AcornBiodiv @chneophytou

And here are some photos from the field work in @AcornBiodiv in Central Europe.

[ACORN_BiodivERsA @AcornBiodiv]

Month 4 in @AcornBiodiv is beginning! Thus far, good progress in field work in all countries (see photos from Greece and Turkey here). Our website https://t.co/ACjCEPr70W is on-line!

[ACORN_BiodivERsA @AcornBiodiv]

@LGuillardin @debbiemleigh @ch_rellstab definitely!
