Norway spruce (Picea abies) is probably the most important commercial conifer in Europe and it is for this reason that the initial efforts of EUFORGEN concentrated on this species.
The Norway spruce Network was created in 1995 with the main aim of promoting the maintenance of a broad genetic variation in the species in order to ensure the necessary evolutionary adaptability to a changing environment over many generations.
We thought, however, that it would be useful to maintain the Picea abies related outputs both for their intrinsic and for their reference value.
