Funding:
BiodivERsA (HORIZON 2020)
Sector:
Biodiversity and ecosystems, Forestry
Objectives:
- Detect genomic patterns of drought adaptation at local and continental scales
- Investigate physiological and morphological traits related to drought resistance and identify their genetic background
- Examine if the movement of forest reproductive material (FRM) at local/continental scale is expected to enhance adaptability of future forests
- Identify optimal FRM transfer strategies to maximize benefits and minimize risks
Status:
In progress
