The climate is changing faster than trees evolve or migrate on their own, resulting in reduced growth and survival. The Climate-Adapted Seed Tool uses data from seed transfer experiments to help foresters identify nearby seed sources best adapted to local climate conditions at their planting sites.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participant will be able to use the Climate-Adapted Seed Tool to assess how different seed sources are likely to perform (i.e., relative productivity, carbon sequestration, timber production) at their planting site.
Upon completion, the participant will be able to describe the evidence that climate-based transfer of seeds can result in healthier and more productive forests by mitigating climate-adaptation mismatch.
