“…To date, the most thorough regulations controlling the use of genetically engineered and clonallypropagated trees have been enacted by the Swedish and German governments (Muhs 1988). These regulations encompass the source, field testing, and final field use of improved trees.…”

This paper discusses the potential risks and benefits that may be derived from present and future use of forest biotechnology in Canada. The complementary use of forest biotechnology along with traditional silvicultural programs has the potential to improve the quality of Canadian forests by promoting: increased forest productivity, a reduction of exploitation pressure on forest lands, an increase in gene conservation, and improved forest management. However, these benefits could also be followed by undesirable effects such as pest adaptation to control methods, non-target pest emergence, reduction of biodiversity, and genetic pollution. Measures that could be implemented to circumvent these potentially undesirable effects are discussed. Such measures should be based on a sound understanding of the ecological effects of biotechnology and should promote biotechnology use within programs of integrated forest management.

“…The primary reason being the long rotation periods in forestry. The use of clones is regulated in several countries by legal norms (Muhs, 1988). The main point of these regulations is that a certain minimum number of clones has to be outplanted to maintain genetic diversity and to reduce ecological and economical risks (Libby, 1983).…”

Competitive behaviour of clones of Picea abies in monoclonal mosaics vs. intimate clonal mixtures. A pilot study. Accepted Nov. 20, 1989. Scand. J. For. Res. 5: 397-401, 1990.The effect of competition on five Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) clones of different provenances growing monoclonally (intragenotypic competition) and in intimate mixtures (intergenotypic competition) at close spacing were studied until the age of five years. In height, root collar diameter, dry weight, and mortality rate, clones reacted differently to the treatments, showing significant inherent competitive differences. A positive competitive reaction between certain clones can raise total increment by overcompensation and can reduce risks by maintaining genetic diversity until harvest.
