EUFORGEN Webinar - Mechanisms of natural and anthropogenic selection on trees in the forest: Consequences for climate change adaptation strategies

How does natural selection shape tree populations in forests? How do human interventions, such as thinning and forest management, influence the adaptive capacity of trees in response to climate change? Can forest management strategies harness natural selection to enhance resilience to environmental stresses like drought? These and many other key questions will be explored in a new EUFORGEN webinar organised in collaboration with the Horizon Europe OptFORESTS project.

The speaker for this webinar is François Lefèvre, a geneticist at the National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment (INRAE, France), based in the Mediterranean Forest Ecology research unit (URFM) in Avignon. In addition to his research, François serves as the president of the French Commission on Forest Genetic Resources (CRGF) and as the national coordinator for France in the EUFORGEN programme.  The presentation for this webinar will be co-authored with Victor Fririon.
