The big challenge! How can we adapt forests to increase resilience to biotic threats and climate change, whilst maintaining productivity?

What is resilience? Resilience: the capacity of a plant community to maintain or regain normal function and development following disturbance. Helms, J The dictionary of forestry. CABI International, Oxford.

Ways to increase resilience Three main options: 1.Species choice and deployment 2.Silvicultural systems / forest structure (thinning) 3.Genetics

Our forests today 5 conifer species account for 88% of the total 5 broadleaved species account for over 72% of the total 10 tree species account for 80% of our woodland!!!! Broadleaved species today

2. Silvicultural systems 14/05/

Sitka spruce at Clocaenog

3. Genetics

Provenance of Abies alba L. Data were analyzed using GLMM and results showed that site (P=0.026) and provenance (p<0.001) were significant but site x provenance was not significant (p=0.578)

Summary – Resilient Forests A key ‘future concept’ in forest management is resilience What does it mean? How can it be assessed/measured? Is the science in place to advise policy? Is understanding advanced enough to develop forestry practice?
