Abstract
|
|
|---|---|
| Several schemes have been set up or proposed for monitoring the health and biodiversity of European forests during the past 30 years. Unfortunately, none of the existing forest monitoring schemes collects data on genetic diversity, which is the engine driving adaptation of forests to climate change and aintaining biological diversity at species and ecosystem levels. Genetic monitoring, i.e. tracking of temporal changes in the genetic variation and structure of tree populations, is the only way to verify how well genetic diversity is maintained over time, and how this diversity is shaped by climate change and management practices. | |
