In the frame of this research the growth reaction of provenances of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) to drought events at different are investigated

An international network to establish a series of provenance trials with European beech was created to evaluate the genetic variation of beech.

Plus trees of silver birch (Betula pendula) and black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) were selected and propagated vegetatively.

Longterm studies in Brandenburg have shown Robinia with respect to growth potential especially suitable for drought exposed sites.

Intensification of wood production in short rotation coppices (SRC) by implementing fast growing varieties and irrigation.

Poplars and willows are especially suitable for the production of energy wood in form of wood chips in short rotation periods.

Selection of drought tolerant Robinia pseudoacaia from international sources for energy production.

Studies on stability, growth and diversity of progenies of crosses from selected tree species under various climatic and edaphic conditions.

How do progenies of hybrid larch perform? This problem is to be analysed due to progeny testing of single clones of hybrid larch.
