  • Select activity Description

    This lecture explores innovative strategies for the conservation of threatened elm (Ulmus) species using the holobiont concept, which considers the tree together with its associated microbiome. It highlights how interactions with beneficial microbes can enhance disease resistance, stress tolerance, and overall tree health. The session also discusses practical applications for conservation programs, including microbiome-based interventions and integrated management approaches to support resilient elm populations in urban and forest environments.
