However, the sustainability of many of tree species and populations are threatened by forest health issues:
• introduced insects,
• exotic diseasesexotic diseases,
• invasive plants,
• climate change,
• fragmentation,
• poor management practices.
A forest health crisis is underwayA forest health crisis is underway.
Many important tree species and forest ecosystems are threatened by pests, diseases and climate change.

Abiotic stresses such as
O• Ozone
• Acid Rain
• Heavy metals
• Drought
• Climate change

Ecological and evolutionary genomics research can identify the genes responsible for variation in adaptive traits in natural populations, including stress resistance.
This will provide new opportunities to address forestThis will provide new opportunities to address forest health threats, starting with GWAS for environmental stress resistance.

Association Genetics can illuminate the basis of adaptive gene complexes
in natural populations
• What classes of genes (regulatory or structural) provide most of the
adaptive variation?
• Are the same loci involved at different evolutionary levels (within‐
population, among‐population, and among species)?
• How does natural selection affect molecular diversity and linkageHow does natural selection affect molecular diversity and linkage
disequilibrium?
