Genética Forestal.

Botánica.

En el laboratorio de Genética Forestal desarrollamos proyectos de investigación para mejorar el manejo de recursos genéticos forestales, considerando cambio climático. Una de nuestras principales líneas de investigación es sobre migración asistida de poblaciones de especies forestales, como medida de adaptación al cambio climático. La migración asistida consiste en colectar semilla en un bosque natural, producir planta en vivero, y reforestar en sitio en donde se proyecta ocurrirá el clima que le es propicio en un futuro; esto con la finalidad de realinear la capacidad adaptativa de las poblaciones forestales al clima que les es propicio, pero que, por el cambio climático, ocurrirá en un sitio diferente al actual (a mayor altitud o más al norte). Esta idea ha sido probada con éxito experimentalmente con especies de pino en los bosques de la comunidad indígena de Nuevo San Juan Parangaricutiro, Michoacán, y con Abies religiosa (oyamel), en el área núcleo de la Reserva de la Biósfera de la Mariposa Monarca. Otro de los objetivos del laboratorio es mejorar la supervivencia de las reforestaciones de oyamel con la producción y reforestación con plantas nodriza, que son arbustos como Baccharis conferta, Ageratina glabrata y Senecio sp).
