Searching Europe for Future-proof Oak Trees

Pedunculate, sessile and downy oaks are to be found throughout Europe, both on arid sites and on sites with a good water supply. The international ACORN research project is investigating the (genetic) adjustments shown by trees in dry sites in order to secure seed sources that can tolerate global warming for the oak forests of the future.
