Presentation
The new threats posed to forests by climate change are presenting scientists with unprecedented challenges, involving extremely difficult management dilemmas. What can be done in the wake of more frequent and massive dieback and mortality events? Above all, what can be done to anticipate the adverse consequences of climate change, which are bound to intensify, given that there is no sign of any trend towards mitigation? Forest scientists need to improve their ability to observe the effects of extreme climatic events, better understand the natural mechanisms involved in the response of forest ecosystems, and find new nature-based adaptation solutions that will enable forests to be renewed. This conference aims to contribute to these objectives by bringing together scientists and giving them the opportunity to present and discuss the latest results in these fields. The conference will be organized into several sessions, focusing on the natural mechanisms of forest adaptation to climate, innovative approaches to forest renewal and observation of the consequences of climate change on forests. The conference will be held on November 12-15 in Orléans (France) and will include these three successive or parallel sessions
- 1.Plastic and evolutionary mechanisms of forest adaptation to climate
- 2.Silvicultural and genetic approaches to forest renewal
- 3. Tools and methods for observing the consequences of climate change on forests
This international conference is the second international FORESTIA (INRAE - France, INTA - Argentina, University of Huanta - Peru, Colegio de Postgraduados, Texcoco - Mexico) conference, after Bariloche 2019, Argentina.
This event is organised in the framework of the Sycomore ARD CVL Programme.
