Résumé :
|
Soon after this work was published in French in 1999, its translation into English was deemed important because foreign observers of the way forest genetic resources are handled in France suggested it could serve as an example of what other countries might want to do. In fact, the present volume includes quite a few additions where research and development have brought fresh information. This volume sets out the reasons for and objectives underlying the conservation of forest tree species and also presents on-going work and current results. It also aims to show the importance of co-ordination, planning, funding and long-term follow-up. It should be of interest to anyone whose daily activities are related to the management and conservation of our forest heritage. This volume is organised in such a way as to allow the reader to gradually discover different aspects in the field of forest genetic resources conservation: the institutional foundations, the science, the different mechanisms involved and the accomplishments to date. Forest genetic resources conservation began in France at the end of the 1980's. Through a presentation of the results achieved since that time, this volume will allow the reader to judge the scope of the accomplishments made: knowledge acquired about the genetic diversity of forest trees and its geographic structure and about the reproductive systems and biological mechanisms that maintain this diversity and bring about its evolution. Eleven cases - either species or ecosystems - are briefly presented in Chapter 6 of this volume, They are representative of the major vegetation types on the French mainland and overseas in French Guiana: social species, scattered species, complex ecosystems. In each case, the types of threat and the degree of danger they represent to our forest genetic heritage are highlighted. This volume does not attempt to present exhaustive information.
