The Working Party on Ecology and Silviculture of European Silver Fir is concerned with co-operation and exchange of information on all aspects of research regarding the ecology and silviculture of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.).This includes not only the "classical" fields of regeneration, stand management and sustainable forestry but also – amongst others – evolution, plant sociology, provenance testing for ecotype characterisation, management of genetic resources as well as research on biodiversity and competition in silver fir forest ecosystems.

Silver fir is one of the endangered species in Europe, which is suffering in particular from unsuitable management tools and economic pressure, in spite of its ecological value for European forest ecosystems. The aim of our WP is to provide a platform for concerted activities from different scientific disciplines in close co-operation with practitioners in order to contribute to the maintenance of Silver fir by improving the knowledge and the management tools.

Under construction.
