Research

Genetic conservation – molecular approaches
Forest research is currently exploring the feasibility of establishing meta barcoding in our laboratory to confirm the presence of clones, species and species assemblages.
Research

Genetics of woodland dwelling species
In this project we have utilised existing and developed new microsatellite markers in model species such as wood ants, wood crickets and twinflower to gain insight into the effect of landscape features.
Research

Intra and interspecific gene flow in oaks (OAKFLOW)
The page summarises the ‘Intra and interspecific gene flow in oaks’ (OAKFLOW) project, funded by the EU’s Fifth Framework Programme (FP5).
Research

Completed genetic conservation molecular studies
Exploring the genetic structure of tree species populations and the gene flow occurring within them

Research

Genetic conservation
This project conducts research on adaptive and neutral genetic variation in our native tree species and woodland dwelling organisms. The results of the work contribute to the development of appropriate policy relating to future resilience of our native woodlands.
Research

Breeding and production of conifers
Conservation of trees selected for further breeding work. Production of improved deployment populations. Development of clonal forestry.
