TREEvolution
Diversity and management effects on forest evolution (2023 – 2026)
In this project, we aim to investigate the genomic diversity dynamics of beech (Fagus sylvatica) in order to estimate the effect of natural selection in populations among life stages (seedlings, saplings, and adult trees) across a large representative sample using all beech-containing Experimental Forest Plots
The project is funded in the framework of the SPP Biodiversity Exploratories (HE7345/12-1) and carried out in collaboration with Dr. Mona Schreiber, Dr. Christian Lampei and Prof. Dr. Lars Opgenoorth (all Philipps University Marburg)
