The use of the forest management database in the process of primary selection of stands within forest genetic resources

The forest management database is used for the primary selection of the candidate stands for inclusion in forest genetic resources (FGR). The management and primary processing of the forest management database was performed with the support of standard functions of commonly used software (Microsoft Excel). In 2020, the primary identification area of FGR was 75.7 thousand ha of land covered with forests in the central area of the Republic of Moldova. As a result of the data processing, 12.7 thousand ha, or 16.8% of the study area, of candidate stands were selected for inclusion in the FGR.

Selection Of

Depending on the general or specific objectives, for the improvement of forest species and to assess performance of proveniences in different environmental conditions, it is necessary to install comparative trials. These comparative trials include descendants of Forest Genetic Resources (RGF) from three provenance regions (A, B, C) of the Republic of Moldova, and are being intended to monitor the performance of descendants over time. The performance of descendants will be evaluated through different statistical approaches of biometric parameters. The study of comparative cultures will contribute to establish over time most adapted and stable proveniences for region where permanent trials are installed. The selection of most adapted proveniences is the first mandatory stage in any tree improvement program, because in addition to estimating provenances ability to adapt, are also evaluated quantitative traits such as growth performances and wood quality and plasticity.

Forest genetic resources represent the genetic diversity contained in the thousands of species of forest trees on the earth. their conservation is a set of activities and strategies, which are performed in the aim of ensuring the continued existence, evolution and availability of these resources for the present and future generations. the aim of genetic resource management is the enhancement of conditions for the continual evolution of the species which is the defensive mechanism of the organisms in the struggle with environmental changes.

Forest Genetic Resources

The genetic information about forest trees is not only of crucial importance for the yield of forestry production systems,but also for determining the evolutionary adaptive potential of tree populations. Thus, the stability of forest ecosystems depends on the sustainable management of forest genetic resources. In this context, tree breeding and conservation of forest genetic resources are mentioned as main applications of research in forest genetics. Genetic inventories are conducted in order to observe the spatial distribution of genetic information at gene marker loci. Such studies allow us to elucidate the evolutionary history of populations and, thus, to draw conclusions about their evolutionary adaptability. Results of a genetic inventory of oak (Quercus spp.) populations native to Switzerland are presented, and their significance for the characterization of genetic systems and adaptive potential is discussed. Future research into forest genetics should aim at improving our understanding of the relationship between variation at biochemical and molecular marker loci and adaptive processes in forest tree populations. The temporal dynamics of genetic structures of forest tree populations as a consequence of anthropogenic environmental change is another important topic of forest genetics in particular for the conservation of rare species.
