Description
Genomic DNA has been extracted from 718 Douglas fir trees from 29 planting sites across Italy (from the Eastern Alps to the Southern Apennines to Sicily and Sardina). Most sampled stands are old plantations established in the 1920s-1930s (about 90-100 years old), while several others are 40-50 years old. The project’s main goal is to establish the genetic origin of the propagation material used in afforestation using SSR markers.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 718 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.
Versions
The table below shows only published versions of the resource that are publicly accessible.

PRIN2022 - CONIFIR project “GenetiC Origin and structural setting of Douglas-fir plaNted forests in Italy For their management, conservatIon and valoRization”, project number DBA.PN011.009, CUP B53D23015090006 || ITINERIS (PNRR Project IR0000032) Activity 6.5 "Mining and mapping the functional biodiversity in vivo and ex-situ research collections" - This activity is aimed to provide biodiversity (meta)data linked to Natural Science Collections (NSC) in terms of extended digital specimens fully linked to related information (e.g.. images and videos, codification of functional traits, DNA and protein sequences, environmental parameters, etc.). The expected outcome of the activity is the implementation of a national network of biological research collections, including all the existing in vivo and ex-situ collections of biological organisms (animals, plants, fungi, algae, archaea, bacteria, viruses, etc.) which have been created and maintained through past and current research projects. || BIOMEMORY (CNR-DiSBA Project No. SAC.AD002.173) is the network of biological collections of the Department of Biology, Agriculture and Food Sciences (DiSBA) of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) for bio-monitoring, biodiversity conservation, agri-food and environmental sustainability, and human well-being. The project is aimed to create a network of biobanks (i.e., scientific research collections) where data and metadata associated to biological samples of different nature are collected and stored in a systematic and well-organized way. Maintaining the existing collections will allow their future use for a number of purposes, from the genetic improvement of organisms to face environmental changes (climate-ready organisms) to the fight against epidemics and pandemics affecting humans, animals and plants.
