Intraspecific variation plays a critical role in extant and future forest responses to climate
change. Forest tree species with wide climatic niches rely on the intraspecific variation …

Forest tree breeding efforts have focused mainly on improving traits of economic importance,
selecting trees suited to new environments or generating trees that are more resilient to …

As greenhouse gas emissions rise unabated and temperatures continue to rise, forest
managers have begun to consider assisted migration (AM) of trees as a strategy to adapt …

Forests provide important ecosystem services and renewable materials. Yet, under a future
climate, optimal conditions will likely shift outside the current range for some tree species …

Seed and breeding zones traditionally are delineated based on local adaptation of
phenotypic traits associated with climate variables, an approach requiring long‐term field …

Forests of the future need to cope with adverse climatic conditions, in particular drought, to
ensure forest stability and productivity. Given the usually long rotation period of forests …

Artificial regeneration is successful when high-performing seedlings are transported with
care to the planting site, stored for a short period in an environment without desiccation or …

Forests provide a range of ecosystem services essential for human wellbeing. In a changing
climate, forest management is expected to play a fundamental role by preserving the …

Population responses to climate were assessed using 3–7 years height growth data
gathered for 266 populations growing in 12 common gardens established in the 1980s as …

This book is a comprehensive reference work on the current status of biotechnology of the
