Project
Assessment of Norway maple
Assessment of adaptability and growth performance of Norway maple (Acer platanoides)
Norway Maple is a native tree species in Central Europe and Germany. However, the species has so far only a minor role in forestry. Better knowledge of adaptability and suitability of different provenances of Norway maple can help to improve the potential of the species in forestry.
Background and Objective
The aim of the project is to assess the adaptability and growth performance of Norway maple in forests in Germany. Therefore, a series of trial plots under different site conditions will be established to evaluate selected population seed samples as well as single tree progenies from the whole natural range. Such field trials are necessary to be able to give well-founded recommendations for the use of suitable seed and plant material for forestry practice. Furthermore, criteria for a genetically sustainable seed production should be developed based on population genetic analyses. This includes analyses of the within-population gene flow, and it also examines whether there is any evidence of pollen flow from horticultural varieties into natural populations of Norway maple. In order to answer these genetic questions, a suitable marker set for Norway maple will be developed.
Approach
1. Material selection and seed harvest
2. Plant cultivation for nursery and field trials
3. Nursery experiment (establishment, evaluation of phenological and physiological variation)
4. Development of a strategy for sustainable seed harvesting based on population genetic knowledge
5. Planning and establishing of field trials
