Work package 4

Leader: Uppsala Universitet (UU)

The goal of this work package is to quantify key demographic and selection processes affecting genomic diversity

• Create a next-generation genetic diversity map for seven key European forest tree species, identifying life-history traits and population features associated with high levels of genetic diversity.
• Associate genetic variation to environmental variables.
• Infer past population transfers and demography.
• Use a multi-scale (from local to species-wide) sampling scheme to infer the spatial scale of gene flow and local adaptation and identify alleles under local adaptation.
