Welcome to EUFGIS

This website provides you with geo-referenced information on the conservation of forest genetic resources in Europe and gives you access to detailed data on dynamic genetic conservation units (GCUs) of forest trees.
Currently, the EUFGIS contains information on 3516 genetic conservation units for 116 tree species in 37 countries. The units harbour a total of 4645 tree populations. The GCUs are characterised by Genetic, Phenotypic, Environmental, Modelled and Forest Site indicators. However, not all GCUs are characterised by all the indicators.

The goal of EUFGIS is to support participating countries in their efforts to conserve forest genetic resources as part of sustainable forest management, as agreed in the context of the pan-European forest policy process Forest Europe. Countries can use EUFGIS for various reporting efforts, such as the State of Europe’s Forests and the State of World’s Forest Genetic Resources reports.
EUFGIS can also be used to identify vulnerable GCUs or those that are more distinct or genetically diverse than others, to identify gaps in genetic conservation efforts within tree species distribution ranges, to develop gene conservation strategies at pan-European scale and for research purposes.
