Erik Dahl Kjær serves as Professor in the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Science. His research focuses on forest genetics and climate adaptation, leading the Forest Genetics and Diversity research group studying over 25 European tree species including Quercus, Fraxinus, Tilia, and Pinus . He manages the Hørsholm Arboretum (Denmark's national arboretum with 1,500+ woody species) and maintains international collaborations with West Africa and India on tropical species. His research interests integrate genomic techniques with dendroecology to address climate challenges. Key areas include genetically sustainable forest management , microbiome interactions in tree health , and adaptive capacity of native species like Danish oak. Recent work examines ash dieback tolerance mechanisms and polyploid advantages in stress environments. Publication trends show strong emphasis on genomic applications for conservation (2025 articles dominate output), with significant focus on European forest genetic resources and microbiome-mediated adaptation. His work bridges fundamental genetics with practical forestry guidelines for climate-resilient management. Professional activities include committee leadership in Danish forest reproductive material governance and international research assessment roles. His teaching encompasses all academic levels (BSc to postdoc) with deputy head responsibilities for departmental teaching. Fieldwork spans European common garden trials, tropical species studies in West Africa, and three-decade teak research in India. Current major projects address oak adaptation to warmer/drier conditions and ash forest recovery strategies following pathogen outbreaks.

Ole Kim Hansen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in Forest and Bioresources. With over 25 years of experience in forest genetics, he has established himself as a leading researcher in quantitative and molecular genetics of forest trees. His educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Forestry (1996) with a thesis in quantitative genetics of Christmas trees, a Master of Science in Forestry (1999) focusing on genecological zonation of Pinus merkusii through multivariate statistics, and a PhD (2002-2005) on DNA markers in Abies nordmanniana. Following his doctoral studies, he gained comprehensive experience with development and use of DNA markers for population genetic studies, combining parentage analysis with quantitative genetic analysis. Dr. Hansen's research focuses on several key areas: Functionality and genetics of clonal seed orchards Establishment of Quasi-field trials as a breeding tool for trees Development of DNA markers in woody species The genetic consequences of domestication of woody species His recent scholarly work (2023-2025) demonstrates a strong emphasis on genomic approaches to forest tree breeding and conservation. Analysis of his publications reveals consistent focus on applying molecular genetics to address challenges in forest management, particularly in the context of climate change. His research spans from fundamental genetic studies of conifers and beech species to practical applications in tree breeding programs across Europe and tropical regions. Dr. Hansen is actively involved in teaching at the university level, instructing courses in Genetics and Molecular Genetics (course no. 240066). He also participates in international scientific collaborations and has contributed to the scientific community through conference presentations including the IUFRO Tree Biotechnology conference and the XVII International Botanical Congress. His media contributions, particularly on cloned Christmas trees in 2005-2006, demonstrate his commitment to public engagement. With 86 research outputs to his name, including numerous peer-reviewed journal articles, Dr. Hansen maintains an active research program that bridges molecular genetics with practical forest management solutions.
