Wälder im Klimawandel: Anpassung an neue Gegebenheiten

Description

The lecture discusses the resilience of tree species to climate change, focusing on their evolutionary history, genetic diversity, and physiological adaptation mechanisms. It examines reasons behind increased tree die-offs and analyzes their capacity to adapt to changing environmental conditions. The presentation also covers current research projects in Switzerland and insights from EUFORGEN, the European network for forest genetic resources conservation. Andreas Rudow, an expert in dendrology and vegetation science at ETH Zurich, leads the discussion, combining applied research with practical insights.

Highlights

Insights into tree adaptation mechanisms; discussion on forest resilience; updates on Swiss research projects; insights from EUFORGEN network.
