520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc "Forestry sector is considered one of the most developed in the world, being the base for important industrial segments which use wood as raw material. Tree breeding has played an important role on improving the competitiveness of forestry-based companies, especially for its positive reflexes on increasing adaptation, forestry productivity and wood quality. Forest trees meet human needs and contribute to natural ecosystems in unique and diverse ways. As a source of fuel and fiber, they are important commodities. As dominant members of many natural ecosystems, they play keystone ecological roles in plant and animal communities. As habitat for other organisms, forests are a reservoir of great natural diversity. Forest Genetics examines some of the basic genetic concepts typically used in forestry and tree improvement studies, including Mendelian and population genetics. It also describes techniques that are generally useful in tree improvement work, including individual tree selection and breeding, provenance testing, species and racial hybridization, and introduction of exotics. Describing the genetic diversity and composition of forest tree populations is crucial for understanding the evolution and biogeography of tree species, and for guiding strategies that identify and protect endangered populations. Researchers are identifying unique and endangered populations, and using population genetic tools to understand the effects of environmental change, habitat fragmentation, and invasive species on the long-term survival of tree populations. Sufficient genetic diversity ensures the success of our forest tree species in a highly variable environment. Safeguarding genetic diversity and resources is an important part of biodiversity conservation and a goal to which Finland has committed through international conventions. Genetic diversity refers to the variability between specimens within a species. The present book has been designed as a text-cum-reference book for post-graduate students, research workers, teachers and undergraduate students specializing in advance course of forest genetics and tree improvement. It is believed, the book will immensely benefit them all." -- Book cover
