Description: Das Projekt "EVOLution of TREEs as drivers of terrestrial biodiversity" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Hamburg, Department für Biologie, Zentrum Holzwirtschaft des Johann Heinrich von Thünen-Institut, Bundesforschungsinstitut für Ländliche Räume, Wald und Fischerei durchgeführt. Evoltree will associate four major disciplines - genomics, genetics, ecology and evolution - for understanding, monitoring and predicting genetic diversity, ecosystems structures, dynamics and processes.This strategy will be applied to three major interacting elements of terrestrial ecosystems: trees, phytophagous insects and mycorrhizal fungi. The functional role of trees as drivers of biodiversity will be deciphered by investigating their adaptive diversity, their structuring role on diversity of associated species and their own evolutionary rate in response to biotic and abiotic environmental changes. The network will integrate multidisciplinary research to dissect the structure, expression and polymorphism of genes of ecological significance, and contribute to the emergence of 'ecosystem genomics'. The genomic activities will be conducted within a 'Laboratory without walls' where high throughput techniques will be integrated and then applied to a wide range of tree and associated species, starting with model species. Evoltree will setup the necessary experimental infrastructures, information systems and bioinformatics resources for common use by the partners. Large data sets will be compiled and made accessible by developing data mining procedures for the analysis of geographic and temporal distribution of genetic diversity. Evoltree will spread its knowledge and expertise for the purpose of education, biodiversity monitoring, and conservation. The network will develop training capacities and facilitate mobility opportunities throughout Europe. A dynamic communication strategy will disseminate its results to the scientific community, end users and the public. Evoltree will greatly contribute to the national and international efforts for preserving biodiversity, in particular, the resolutions initiated by the Pan-European Biological and Landscape Diversity Strategy initiative adopted by the Ministerial Conference on Protection of Forests in Europe. Prime Contractor: Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA); Paris; France.
