Marija Kravanja, one of the PhD students supported by an #EVOLTREE grant to attend the conference, presented an original study using FORGENIUS data on the correlation between genetic diversity and resilience, as estimated by restoration rates obtained from satellite data.

exciting times ahead. the permanent exhibition "breaking the code" about genetic research at @wslresearch.bsky.social is opening soon!
with apprentices from ETH, we developed a computer game to assign white oak species (and their hybrids) based on leaf morphology and genetic markers.
stay tuned!
