Starting the cultivation of beech stands in Latvia is a solution for improving the adaptability of Latvia forests, and the offer of valuable roundwood assortments in our country will also diversify the opportunities of forest industry companies. In order to achieve these goals, it is necessary to adapt beech restoration methods that would be successfully applied in Latvia conditions. In order to be able to start growing beech in Latvia on a significant scale, it is necessary to create a planting material production technology that will allow to provide high-quality reproductive material suitable for local conditions. Anticipating that the future climate in Latvia will be suitable for the growth of beech stands, early planting of genetically high-quality seedlings obtained from mother trees selected in the selection process will increase the value of future stands and reduce the long-term risks associated with climate change in the selection of renewable/planted species.
