LCF5144 - Clonal Forests

Credit hours

Instructor
Luciana Duque Silva

Objective
This subject aims to discuss with students the main strategies for clonal forestry to provide sustainable production and guarantee resilience in planted areas. The bottlenecks for the propagation of selected plants and the main techniques used to overcome the biological issues involved in this process will be presented; how silvicultural techniques can help plants adapt to climate extremes; the suitability of the silvicultural system to the climatic conditions of the cultivation site; the genotypic and phenotypic particularities of clones and the potential for adaptation to regions of thermal and water stress; composition of areas with different ages, clones and clonal compounds, as a strategy to increase the resilience of the plantation.

Content
1. Vegetative propagation methods; 2. Structures and key inputs that guarantee adequate physiological conditions for the asexual propagation of tree species; 3. Climate impacts on plantation establishment efficiency; 4. Production models and clone composition that minimize climate risks; 5. Genotypic and phenotypic adaptation, as a strategy to mitigate the effects of climate change; 6. Abiotic and biotic stress and their impacts on the plantation; 7. Techniques that optimize the balance between wood production and environmental resources; and 8. Increasing the resilience of plantations to reduce vulnerabilities.
