The main objective of this COST Action is to make predictions of the future distribution range of beech forest ecosystems under the assumption of certain scenarios of climate change, based on the analysis of the reaction pattern of European Beech populations of defined origin (progenies of natural beech stands) under changed climate situations in sets of pan European field trials.
The results obtained will facilitate the joint evaluation of the genetic resources of beech for better economic utilisation under observation of the requirements for a sustainable forest management.
