The University of Alberta team is decoding tree genomes to understand why some trees in Alberta withstand drought, disease, and wildfires better. By studying over 5,000 trees, they aim to identify resilient traits essential for reforestation. Despite challenges, like the immense size of conifer genomes, this research could revolutionize forestry by guiding tree selection for climate resilience. With climate change altering landscapes, such genomic insights are crucial for sustaining healthy forests.
