Alberta Forest Genetic Resource Management and Conservation Standards. Third revision of STIA

Description

The standards in this publication are released under the Timber Management Regulation and represent rules to facilitate the collection, development, processing, documentation, tracking, custody and eventual use of forest reproductive materials. The forest genetic resources of Alberta are crucial to the long-term economic and ecological stability of the province. Without proper management, human activity can lead to genetic erosion, reduced fitness and loss of evolutionary resilience in wild populations, and can also reduce opportunities for development of new and useful plant varieties and gene products.
