467) Effects of climate change on the distribution of crop wild relatives in the Netherlands in relation to conservation status and ecotope variation
Crop wild relatives (CWR) are wild plant taxa that are genetically related to a cultivated species and are considered rich sources of useful traits for crop improvement. CWR are generally underrepresented in genebanks, while their survival in nature is not guaranteed. Inventories and risk analyses are...
