Book Description
Forests are among the most important repositories of terrestrial biological diversity. They provide a wide range of products and services to people throughout the world. Forest trees and other plants have developed complex mechanisms to maintain high levels of genetic diversity. Conserving forest genetic resources is therefore vital, as they are a unique and irreplaceable resource.

Book Description
Forests are among the most important repositories of terrestrial biological diversity. They provide a wide range of products and services to people throughout the world. Forest trees and other plants help support many other organisms, and have developed complex mechanisms to maintain high levels of genetic diversity. This diversity is the fundamental basis for the evolution of forest tree species and for their adaptation to environmental changes. Conserving forest genetic resources is therefore vital, as they are a unique and irreplaceable resource.

Book Description
During the 4th International Consultation on Forest Genetics and Tree Building, held in 1998 in Beijing, China, leading scientists were invited to review past achievements, to redefine the role of forest genetics and breeding in contemporary forestry, and to set priorities for future research and development. On the basis of the invited presentations, the volume summarizes the state of knowledge in various fields, such as the impact of forest management and of changing environmental conditions on genetic resources, and the value of genetic markers as indicators for adaptational potential, as well as the tasks of conservation. Detailed reports from the different continents provide a comprehensive diagnosis of the global situation of forest genetics and tree breeding research. The book offers not only an overview of contemporary trends and expected future developments, but also identifies current main problems in funding and cooperation. It may prove therefore useful not only for scientists, university lecturers and advanced students in the field of forestry, ecology and conservation biology, but also for decision makers and managers in companies and conservation organizations.

Book Description
This study, prepared within the ambit of The State of the World’s Forest Genetic Resources, reviews issues related to the development of indicators for tree genetic diversity. It includes a historical account of the development of science-based indicators for tree genetic diversity that embrace ecological surrogates for genetic diversity, the genealogical approach, genetic monitoring of management units, the use of molecular markers, as well as relevant experience from other organisms and policy processes. It also includes a section on relevant data, data sources, and databases. Finally, the study proposes a set of four operational indicators for monitoring tree genetic diversity. The proposed indicators could support efforts towards sustainable forest management, as well as the development of indicators for the post-2020 global biodiversity framework.
