offers a unique opportunity to explore the genetic diversity of lesser-known tree species like birch, oak and larix. These species are crucial for enhancing forest biodiversity and resilience. Your thesis could focus on understanding how genetic variation in these species influences wood properties and contributes to sustainable forest management. This research will provide valuable insights into breeding strategies that promote both ecological health and commercial benefits, making it a perfect fit for anyone passionate about biodiversity and sustainable forestry.
