Webinar - Spotlight on Genetic Diversity: An Unseen Ally in Adapting Forests to Drought
FOREST EUROPE 'From the roots to the canopy' series
14 April 2024 at 10:00 CET
FOREST EUROPE continues with the webinar series 'From the roots to the canopy', this time teaming up with EUFORGEN (The European Forest Genetic Resources Programme), the European Forest Institute, and the EU-funded FORGENIUS project to talk about forest adaptation to drought stress.
With a new webinar entitled 'Spotlight on Genetic Diversity: An Unseen Ally in Adapting Forests to Drought', the organisers 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? Stay tuned for updates on this upcoming event!
The webinar will be streamed live on YouTube.
