1️⃣FAM forests adapt to #ClimateChange, but limited #SeedSupply, infrastructure & policy frameworks hinder large-scale implementation
2️⃣Tools like genomic selection, seed databases offer opportunities for future FAM
3️⃣Trust, collaboration & #DiverseKnowledgeSystems are essential for policy & practice

✨Research Highlights:

The approach keeps existing stand boundaries without land cover change and updates regenerating areas.

Stands grew larger and more complex over time, approaching pre-disturbance values.

The algorithm is transparent and efficient, ideal for forest change monitoring.
