We invite you to listen to Prof. Daniel J. Chmura’s lecture entitled “Adaptation of tree populations to climate change”.
The conservation of genetic diversity is crucial for the adaptation and survival of species.
In provenance experiments, trees of the same species originating from different areas are planted in the same location. This allows us to understand how tree populations adapt to changing climatic conditions. The ability to better anticipate the effects of climate change will help us to plant trees today that will grow into a healthy forest in the future.

As part of the program of the Ministry of Education and Science entitled "Social responsibility of science", we have prepared a series of 60 different types of speeches - lectures and workshops - under the common title "Climate for biodiversity". Every Monday we will invite you to listen to speeches prepared by Institute employees who will be happy to share their knowledge. And soon we will also invite you to see periodic exhibitions in the Arboretum, during which we will illustrate each of our speeches with interesting photos and comments prepared by the authors of lectures and workshops. We will see that biological diversity has many names.
Our project was financially supported by the Ministry of Education and Science, the City and Commune of Kórnik and the Zakłady Kórnickie Foundation, for which we are very grateful.

We invite you to listen to Dr. Mikołaj K. Wawrzyniak’s lecture entitled “Biodiversity in a nutshell”.
Seeds represent a new generation of vascular plants, a safe capsule that allows plants to travel in space as well as in time. The germinating seed represents the forthcoming generation of plants, yet they still hold many secrets. Which factors affect seed germination? What is seed dormancy? How do they respond to climate change? To learn the answers to these questions, we invite you to the lecture "Biodiversity in a nutshell".
