Genetics are extremely important. Along with Environment and Management, genetics are one of the three or four most important factors in a stnad, or individual trees life.
Trials from N. America and Germany (some of worlds leading countries in regards to forestry) show that genetics are vital. With genetics, we can choose which trees to select for certain purposes and end-uses. Many of the conifers in UK come from original seed stock taken from Amerca (West/North), and these have had both positive and negative results. From this, we can carry on foreward. The positive shows us what is right, and the negative shows where improvements need to be made.
The thing is, when seed from USA/Canada is raised over here, our more saline environment and higher wind can mean certain trials don't work.

If you are a lumberman or you deal with cutting down trees, can you tell me some reasons you cut down trees? I'm doing a project on deforestation. Also, could you include your name so I can use you as a primary resource? Thanks!!!
