2023-2028 trial participants: observations start on 1 September
MyGardenOfTrees is a participatory science project supported by the European Commission and led by a team of researchers from the Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL. The aim of MyGardenOfTrees is to evaluate the growth and regeneration capacity of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) through experimental gardens across Europe. Observations obtained from these gardens will be used to develop a prediction tool for foresters to help them build forests better adapted to climate change.
In this video, the project PI, Dr Katalin Csilléry, explain the steps of the project from seed collection to the development of a prediction tool.
Over 300 micro-gardens have been established across Europe in the framework of the 2023-2028 trials.
25 large common gardens "macro-gardens" have been established by collaborating research institutes and universities across Europe.
