Forest Reproductive Material
Forest reproductive materials (FRM) are the seeds and seedlings that can be used to grow new forests. FRM is essential for maintaining and restoring forest ecosystems, and it plays a vital role in adapting forests to climate change.
This report reviews the current state of knowledge in genetic aspects linked to the production and use of FRM and also provides 38 recommendations for how to improve them.
The document is a valuable asset and its key messages are available for policy makers and forest and nursery practitioners.

Forest management must boost resilience by diversifying genetics and hastening adaptation. This may involve introducing new FRM.

A set of six recommendations stem from a thorough report made by a working group established by the EUFORGEN Steering Committee in November 2015. For each one of those recommendations a series of materials have been produced for practitioners.
Genetic aspects linked to production and use of forest reproductive material (FRM)
The report explores genetic aspects of forest reproductive material, detailing its production, management, and role in climate adaptation. It provides insights on forest regeneration, conservation strategies, and concludes with 38 recommendations.
Use and transfer of forest reproductive material in Europe in the context of climate change
The publication highlights the critical role of forest reproductive material (FRM) in forestry, emphasising the need to adapt policies and practices for climate resilience, as examined by an EUFORGEN working group.
