Christian Rellstab (WSL, Switzerland) presented how hybridisation and admixture enhance drought tolerance in oaks. This work was supported by an #EVOLTREE Opportunity grant, a program that provides niche funding for research in forest genetics and genomics. www.evoltree.eu/funding-init...
Delphine Grivet from the host organisation INIA-CSIC opens the Joint EVOLTREE- FORGENIUS Conference in Madrid! About 200 researchers, including many early-career scientists in the room.
David O'Brien opens the first session ("New Tools for Science to Reach Practice") of the Joint EVOLTREE-FORGENIUS conference with an entertaining talk on how to communicate to politicians, practitioners and the public.
The EVOLTREE-FORGENIUS Joint Conference starts tomorrow in Madrid, so much excitement in the air! It is already our 3rd Conference and we continue growing. Thanks for supporting #EVOLTREE

I also have an oak(!) PhD opportunity in my group via the CENTA DTP 😅. What drives oak's slow ageing, and can this be changed to allow fast breeding? If you know anyone who's interested please do let them know! Deadline 8th January. Thank you! 🙏

A length of managed hedgerow
Hedgerows are vital for biodiversity, carbon capture, and soil health. While agri-environment schemes (AES) are helping improve their condition, a new UKCEH study shows hedgerow length in England remains unchanged since 2007. 1/3 👇🏼
