We will be presenting findings from two joint Forest Research and RBG Kew projects. The first is our project exploring genetic and plastic adaptation of birch to different environments. The second compares genetic bottlenecks in planted and naturally colonised woodland on nearby sites, and assesses tree health in the different types of woodland creation.
10:00 Dr Louise Gathercole (CFP Coordinator) - Welcome and Introductions
10:05 Dr Domen Finžgar, Dr Rômulo Carleial & Phoebe Swift - How does British silver birch grow in different environments - genetic and environmental effects
11:00 Dr Guillermo Friis and Nicola Cotterill - Evaluating genetic diversity and tree health in planted & naturally colonised young woodland
