Current forest tree gene resource management, with concurrent selective breeding and geneconservation, are long-term endeavors. Hundreds of parents and thousands of offspring are being tested on multiple locations, requiring substantial resources, elaborate logistics, and sustained organizational commitment.
The goal of B4EST is to increase forest survival, health, resilience and productivity under climate change and naturaldisturbances, while maintaining genetic diversity and key ecological functions, and fostering a competitive EU biobasedeconomy.
