Spotlight On Genetic Diversity: An Unseen Ally In Adapting Forests To Drought
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. The new webinar, "Spotlight on Genetic Diversity: An unseen ally in adapting forests to drought," aims to provide an understanding of the genetics underlying drought adaptation. This webinar will show 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!Date: 15 April 2024, 10:00-12:00 CEST
