The Potential for Biotechnology to Address Forest Health

Completed

Topics

The Potential for Biotechnology to Address Forest Health will focus on trees and consider the use of biotechnology to prevent the extirpation of a single tree species by an insect or disease that could have negative consequences for forest health. The committee will examine the potential use of biotechnology to mitigate threats to forest tree health; identify the ecological, ethical, and social implications of deploying biotechnology in forests, and develop a research agenda to address knowledge gaps about its application.
