Highlights

Planted forests with good management records are a useful resource to understand the influence of genetics and the environment on phenotype.

Remote sensing is a rapidly evolving group of technologies that will allow us to phenotype individual trees in situ in planted forests.

Geographical information systems, data surfaces that describe climate and other abiotic factors, are information-rich.

In combination with genetics and genomics, we have presented the concept of the ‘phenotyping platform’ which involves the phenotyping of whole forests, eventually down to the individual-tree level.

The phenotyping platform will allow us to better quantify the key drivers of forest productivity to inform and optimise future breeding and deployment programmes.
