Adaptive breeding for productive, sustainable and resilient forests under climate change. Funded by @EU_H2020 2018-2022

[B4EST_EU @B4EST_EU]

The new B4EST policy brief looks at how forest tree breeding can contribute to EU policies and the #GreenDeal goals. It explores what challenges lie ahead for the future, and makes recommendations as to what policy changes are needed. Download it here: https://t.co/f1bwSAXXcj

🌳🧬Do you know why #forest genetic resources are so important? The genetic diversity of our trees is key to their capacity to survive, adapt & evolve in the face of #climatechange!

Find out why their conservation is crucial for forest #biodiversity 🌿🌍

Yesterday we had a useful meeting on the way forward for high-throughput genotyping of ash trees in Europe, with contributions from scientists in the Netherlands, France, Germany, Austria, Poland, UK, Ireland & more. Here is the recording: https://t.co/DF4ErVBD3D

🌲Forest resources are under pressure from #ClimateChange, invasive species & industrial demand.

Selectively breeding more resilient trees could help forests to remain diverse and productive.

💬Can we identify resistance genes that protect ash trees from dieback & other pests? Can selective tree breeding mitigate the disease’s impact?

🌳🧬Join us this Friday 10th for more online talks in our #EUFORGEN webinars!

We need to adapt our management, & also use 🌳🌲species & genetic material that are already adapted to a rapidly changing climate. #AssistedMigration
