Il ruolo chiave delle foreste nel contenere i drammatici effetti del cambiamento climatico e della perdita di biodiversità è alla base di molteplici iniziative a scala globale, europea e nazionale che prevedono nuovi impianti di alberi e foreste su larga scala. Il settore vivaistico forestale nazionale non è, allo stato attuale, in grado di soddisfare la domanda…
This workshop promotes hands-on networking and exchanges about innovation and developing priorities among the forest research community. The objectives are to present relevant innovative initiatives in Italy and on an international level and to connect current research and practices to further improve existing projects and provide inspiration.
The topic of this 2014 TS will be ‘’Adaptation and evolution of Marginal-Peripheral populations of forest trees at the leading, altitudinal and rear edges of species distribution’’. The TS will focus on: Introduction of ‘’population’’, ‘’marginal-peripheral (MaP) population’’ concepts; Ecological aspects of forest species distributions; Forest population genetics and the key role of MaP populations; Conservation and adaptation of MaP populations (including adaptation, resilience and phenotypic plasticity in MaP populations); MaP at leading edges, Map at rear edges and MaP at altitudinal edges; Scientific methods on adaptive traits and strategies related to the conservation in situ and ex situ of MaP populations and related forest genetic resources; Management of MaP reproductive materials and related legislation (based on information available in National Reports prepared by European/Mediterranean partners in the context of the first State of the World Forest Genetic Resources). Presentation of most recent study cases on adaptation and evolution of MaP FGR at the edges of species distribution; Presentation of the trainees own researches on MaP population and FGR.
