- Abstract
- The Waldfond project "Climate-smart Forests: Genotype selection and planting methods" (acronym: WaldFIT-WF project) contains eight work packages (WP) and is scheduled to last 40 months (planned start 01/09/2021- end 31/12/2024). The project focuses on forest genetics and the improvement of forest reproductive material and planting methods. New plots with provenance trials of important native tree species (spruce, maple) and non-native tree species (Douglas fir) will be established in order to conduct future studies on the suitability of forest reproductive material under adapted cultivation methods under changing climatic conditions.
WP5 (Institute of Silviculture) comprises the identification of the origin of selected stands and clones of Douglas fir from a seed orchard in Austria. Furthermore, seed orchards and stands will be compared with regard to the quality and genetic diversity of the seed produced there and the reproductive conditions in naturally regenerated stands will be investigated by means of genetic markers.
WP7 (Institute of Forest Ecology) comprises the evaluation of two hydrogel varieties and concentrations to increase the growth performance and reduce the mortality rates of five tree species (maple, Douglas fir, oak, spruce, and larch) on reforestation sites in three Austrian growth areas (FB Inner Salzkammergut and Traun-Innviertel, FB Pinzgau and Pongau, and FB Waldviertel-Voralpen).
