Hypothesis: Forest tree species accommodate large climatic variation by local adaptation
rather than simple phenotypic plasticity

We need to support adaptation!
What and how?
Darwin, Wallace and the Red Queen...
![Page 15: Adaptive potentials: examples of increased vulnerability, and how we can support the forests potential for coping with such](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051608/541516948d7f72506c8b4811/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
’Species evolve to fit specific habitats though natural selection according to their fitness’
’Selection and isolation’
Darwin-Wallace: ’survival of the fittest based on natural selection’
![Page 16: Adaptive potentials: examples of increased vulnerability, and how we can support the forests potential for coping with such](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051608/541516948d7f72506c8b4811/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Species must continuously evolve adapt to maintain their evoluationary relevance....
The Red Queen Theory
![Page 17: Adaptive potentials: examples of increased vulnerability, and how we can support the forests potential for coping with such](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051608/541516948d7f72506c8b4811/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Red Queen Theory
![Page 18: Adaptive potentials: examples of increased vulnerability, and how we can support the forests potential for coping with such](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051608/541516948d7f72506c8b4811/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Red Queen Theory
![Page 19: Adaptive potentials: examples of increased vulnerability, and how we can support the forests potential for coping with such](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051608/541516948d7f72506c8b4811/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
’It takes all the running you can do just to stay in the same place’
Species must continuously evolve adapt to maintain their evolutionary relevance....
The Red Queen Theory
![Page 20: Adaptive potentials: examples of increased vulnerability, and how we can support the forests potential for coping with such](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051608/541516948d7f72506c8b4811/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What we have learned so-far on the trees ability to ’run fast’
• Genetic patterns of differentiation are pronounced
• Potential for adaption seem large if management are based on sound genetic principles
• Many aspects are difficult to predict – especially new pests and pathogens
![Page 21: Adaptive potentials: examples of increased vulnerability, and how we can support the forests potential for coping with such](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051608/541516948d7f72506c8b4811/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Support continued adaptation-How?
• Effective natural selection –Level of genetic diversity, Generation intervals, population sizes, Ratio: regeneration/Mature trees
• Gene flow and migration–Seed and pollen at the landscape level, movement and testing of germplasm (genetic pockets)
Researchers: we need to understand adaptation and the role of genetic diversityManagers: we need to protect, support en encourage genetic processesPolicy makers: we need to apply a dynamic view of species and genetic origins
