Description: Oaks are of global ecological and economic importance and have great symbolic value in many countries. They have provided a major source of timber and coppice wood for centuries and continue to provide a significant proportion of temperate hardwood production... Various studies have recently been published or are underway on the impact of climate change on the distribution of oak species... Information on the distribution and abundance of threatened plant species is of primary importance in the planning and implementation of biodiversity conservation activities.
