SUMMARY:Drought adaptation of forests in Europe - Practical strategies
DESCRIPTION:FOREST EUROPE continues the journey to delve into measures we might take at regional\, national\, and international levels to support Europe’s forests to adapt to drought\, to unravel the science behind these recommendations\, and to provide practical guidance on the measures. \nRelevant topics we will cover in this second webinar on the topic of drought stress are: \n\nLook at the extreme drought event in 2018 in Central-Europe and its devastating impact on beech forests and discuss about recovery from drought stress.\nSecondly\, introduce a decision support tool used in Germany for providing forest owners with science-based choices for future mixed forest stands.\nLook at the positive effects thinnings have on drought tolerance of forests\, minimizing vulnerability to drought of existing forests in the short term.\nTalk about pine and mistletoe\, the latest scientific insights on the parasitic relationship\, and measures taken by forest management in Switzerland and Poland.\n\nThis webinar is open to everyone interested and is part of the FOREST EUROPE’s “From the roots to the canopy” series\, this time organized in collaboration with the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest\, Snow\, and Landscape Research (WSL). \nSee the agenda here. \nRegister here and participate!

SUMMARY:Spotlight on genetic diversity: An unseen ally in adapting forests to drought
DESCRIPTION:FOREST EUROPE continues with its successful webinar series “From the roots to the canopy” this time teaming up with FORGENIUS and EUFORGEN to talk about FOREST ADAPTATION TO DROUGHT STRESS. \nWith our new webinar\, “SPOTLIGHT ON GENETIC DIVERSITY: An unseen ally in adapting forests to drought\,” we aim to provide an understanding of the genetics underlying drought adaptation. \nDuring this webinar we will learn what happens to a tree under drought and how drought is affecting European forests. How does drought stress vary among species\, among populations\, among individual trees and how do we understand the genetic bases of such variation? Why does it matter\, and how can this knowledge be applied in practice? \nThis webinar is specifically for you if you are a member of the FOREST EUROPE signatories\, observer organizations and countries\, forest owner\, forest manager\, policymaker\, research organization\, or an interested person. \nStay tuned for updates on this upcoming event. Check here the official invitation. \nFollow the discussions live on our YouTube channel:
