This project aims to investigate validated, rapid and pragmatic solutions to managing plant and animal maladaptation caused by global environmental change. Using Australia’s iconic blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus), this project will test strategies for identifying the major climatic predictors of, and key genomic regions that underlie, adaptation to climate change. By integrating climate variables and genome sequences with field trial-derived trait and performance data from decades of research and thousands of trees, we will develop validated DNA-based tools for monitoring the rate of adaptation in our native forests and identifying climate-ready seed sources for environmental and industrial plantings.

该项目旨在研究有效，快速和务实的解决方案，以管理全球环境变化引起的植物和动物适应不良。利用澳大利亚标志性的蓝桉（Eucalyptus globulus），该项目将测试确定适应气候变化的主要气候预测因子和关键基因组区域的战略。通过将气候变量和基因组序列与数十年研究和数千棵树木的田间试验衍生性状和性能数据相结合，我们将开发经验证的基于DNA的工具，用于监测我们原生森林的适应率，并确定环境和工业种植的气候就绪种子来源。
