Partner Mats Berlin (Skogforsk - Forestry Research Institute of Sweden) was a keynote speaker at WFGA-SFTIC-NFGA 2025 Joint Conference - Forest Genetics Conference 2025. Where he presented "Assisted migration in practice"
#CBEJU #HorizonEurope #OptiForValue #ForestryResearch #ClimateAdaptation
Presentation slide on seedlings and seed orchards, discussing topics like long rotation times 50-120 years & that climate change is an important factor. Leading up to the question: How do we select seedlings adapted to current and future climates that can provide maximum growth?

Thank you slide from Mat's talk - acknowledging The OptiForValue project, SNS Nordic Forest Research, Skogssällskapet, Norra skog, 
Adaptive BREEDING for Better FORESTs project #B4EST, and Bo Rydin Foundation for Scientific Research

Our partner Reza & team at Linnaeus University are working in the lab to extract biopolymers such as lignin from wood.
Wood is composed of ~20–30% lignin, and knowledge of its content & relation to growth conditions can be used to sort logs for optimal use in biorefinery.
