In San Lorenzo del Escorial (Madrid, Spain), the aim of this international conference is to present new scientific findings in the area of ecosystem genomics, which addresses the structure and evolution of gene diversity at the population and community levels. The conference will focus on the function and diversity of genes of adaptive significance in the context of climate change. Adaptation of forest ecosystems will be analyzed from an evolutionary perspective and illustrated by examples on trees and their associated species.

After silently growing for almost half a century, the venerable oaks in the UC Davis Arboretum’s Shields Oak Grove will debut as the featured attraction of Oak Discovery Day on Sunday, May 2nd from 1 to 4 pm. 

Tony Kirkham, Head of the Arboretum and Horticultural Services at Kew, has agreed to the hosting of an Oak Open Day at Kew on July 19^th.
