Digital Journal highlighted a $10.5-million research project led by a UBC researcher that is projected to reduce spruce forest losses due to environmental disturbances.
Joerg Bohlmann, a professor at UBC’s Michael Smith Laboratories, and Jean Bousquet from l’Université Laval will accelerate the development and deployment of genomics-improved spruce seedlings that could be more insect and drought-resistant and lead to improved wood quality and productivity.
