Breeding and genetics of forest trees
Here are links to presentations and other web matters,
which may be relevant for those, who like to improve their knowledge or search
for something about tree breeding, forest genetics and seed orchards. This is
Dag Lindgren´s web. Dag Lindgren (Dag.Lindgren@slu.se ) is retired since 2009, but still maintains this web sometimes.
News:
* An international
seed orchard conference will occur in Sweden 4-6 September 2017.
* A new
journal for reforestation has started (REFORESTA)!
* An environmental page “naturvårdssida” (in Swenglish). De sista åren har behovet av åtgärder för att skydda arter och som symbol lavskrika , stått i fokus. Viktiga bidrag är en beräkning av det observerade utdöendet av de mest hotade arterna i ”rödlistan” mellan 2000 och 2015, en analys av den (låga) utdöenderisken för skogsarter , och föredraget: ”överbeskydd av arter i den svenska skogen”.
* A rewiew about oak
genetics by Gösta Eriksson (2016) at http://eprints.gozdis.si/1617/ .
* News list referring to Forest and tree
genetic diversity http://www.bioversityinternational.org/about-us/latest-news/news/category-news/forest-and-tree-genetic-diversity/
* A compilation about knowledge relevant mainly
relevant for production by the Forest Authority issued February 2016 http://shop.skogsstyrelsen.se/sv/publikationer/meddelanden/kunskapsplattform-for-skogsproduktion-tillstandet-i-skogen-probl.html
* Forest tree breeding in Scandinavia and Finland http://www.skogforsk.se/contentassets/9d9c6eeaef374a2283b2716edd8d552e/the-status-of-tree-breeding-low.pdf
* A general actual description of Swedish Forestry
which may be a good entry for foreigners http://www.ksla.se/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Forests-and-Forestry-in-Sweden_2015.pdf
* Information about Dag Lindgren seed
orchard (at Brån near Vännäs by) and lecture hall (at Vännfors, forest genetic demonstration
area)
* Analys av lövträdsförädling: http://www.skogforsk.se/contentassets/d27e0681165b4f83ac0a18bf5efe51b0/lovtrad.pdf Some inspiration from Lindgren&Wei gene resource stands while low input
breeding acknowledged.
* A study about the advantages of different breeding methods http://www.skogforsk.se/contentassets/42acda01f83843bf925f690bd0a6ed37/best-practice-hela-low.pdf
* Gösta Eriksson and others have been productive in
producing books after retirement, the latest appeared early 2014 Genetics
applied to forestry. The books and texts can be downloaded from http://www.slu.se/en/departments/plant-biology-forest-genetics/education/forest-genetics-online/ But two years
later it was not the last book!!!!! (see above)
* A book on forestry was published 2014 (Fenning
editor) including a chapter by me: http://www.springer.com/life+sciences/forestry/book/978-94-007-7075-1 __
* Skogsstyrelsen har skrivit en rapport
om klonskogsbruk.
* Global warming. Some comments, lectures and links are found here!
I think it is very regrettable that the survival time
of links is so low and does not increase. That is a reason it is very difficult
to inform about interesting information by links. That is one of the signs it
is something wrong with our society.
Seed
orchards_ Many entries also in Swedish, I believe seed orchards are very
important
The seed orchard Västerhus web place got the
information updated because planned visits, many results and intensive
reporting on its plastic isolation tent. Västerhus
can be seen as the most advanced seed orchard in Sweden in full production and
it is the most recently researched Swedish seed orchard today
.
About ”family forestry” thus mainly the use of offspring of a few plustrees
for deployment to forestry, mainly by amplification through vegetative
propagation. Mainly in Swedish, the first page is Swedish, but there are
relevant English links: "Familjeskogsbruk"(for Swedish
forestry) and a little wider
variety of link selections
IUFRO Seed Orchard Working
Party I managed this very unofficially for the working party till 2014. However now I am not officially
involved any more and the content of this site is
mainly only of historic value.
A
report to FAO about Swedish Forest genetic resources has been
prepared: http://shop.skogsstyrelsen.se/shop/9098/art74/14648674-c3c5ce-1851.pdf

En publiceringsanalys av internationell publicering om tall
Jag tänkte en del över frötäkt och
så småningom ledde detta till att frötäkt är tillåtet
nästan överallt i Sverige! Frötäkt - bakgrund
och tankar;
Getting old.
I retired
090930. I started to collect things happening when I got old, some were quite
good for me! I started a page with directions for these different "memorials". I got the best possible retirement
present a professor can dream about! That is to successfully mentor and
collaborate with students resulting in good doctoral research. My student Finnvid Prescher got the
International Union of Forest Research "Outstanding Doctoral Research Award" at its world congress in Seoul 2010. At
the word conferences 2005 and 2000 my students also got "Outstanding
Doctoral Research Award!". It seems I have had the most gifted Forest
Genetics students in the World for fifteen years! It also seems that the path
of research I chosen has been the right in the opinion of the international
research community.
Blogging After retirement I
also took up other fields, mostly in Swedish. The declining future http://downto2100.blogspot.se/ (not used as much
as intended) and http://downto.dagli.se/
turned mainly to natural conservation) and. I also have a family blog with some
links to forest genetics at http://www.allt2.se/Lindgren/. The dead
following Tjernobyl accident http://daglindgren.blogspot.se/.
Wolves http://vargweb.wordpress.com/
and http://vargdag.wordpress.com/ .
About
IT, webs etc. Time goes, some links does not work any more,
some material is outdated and not updated. IT is dynamic. Rules, programs, webmasters ideas, security constraints, links, change of
servers and equipment, administrative factors, and my own ideas are not
constant over time. Both IT-environments and I make mistakes sometimes. Thus,
do not be surprised if things do not work or work as they should. Most links on
this page works but it is more uncertain if you go deeper in the structure. If
something worked before it may still be at this web, try browsing. Do not
hesitate to get in touch with me if in trouble. It is likely that I maintain this web and my
email some time ahead; the University seems to agree a year more.
