“…Ex-situ conservation will safeguard populations that are in danger of physical destruction or genetic deterioration, and will allow commercial improvement and supply of the genetically improved 51 reproductive material. Ex-situ conservation can be dynamic or static (Alizoti et al 2019). Dynamic exsitu conservation can occur in stands, which are established artificially by planting species, ensuring in this way that the genetic structure of the next generations is shaped by natural selection (Amaral et al 2004).…”

“…As soon as the breeding programs advance to the next generation of seed orchards, natural regeneration can be allowed in the first-generation ones, so that new generations subjected to natural selection can develop. In that case, the seed orchards could gradually form a dynamic ex-situ site harbouring high genetic variability (Alizoti et al 2019).…”

Evidence of climate change and global warming is becoming more visible; it is an ongoing process that is likely to become increasingly influential in the near future, not only at the global level but also at the local and regional levels. The fact that climate change affects the development of all forest communities and forest tree species, accordingly, has resulted in the increasing awareness in society towards this phenomenon. Having this in mind, the main aim of this paper is to evaluate the relationship between climate change and coniferous forests in the Balkan Peninsula, as well as to review the management strategies that may contribute to forest adaptation to climate change, with a special emphasis on the conservation of forest genetic resources. Hence, we have analyzed 202 papers regarding climate change and its effects on coniferous forests in the Balkan region, as well as papers dealing with adaptive forest management and forest genetic resources conservation. We concluded that climate change will likely represent one of the major challenges for coniferous forests on the Balkan peninsula in the future, imposing a need for the application of different management strategies to address these challenges and to facilitate adaptation of forests to the altered environmental conditions.
