👉 Tree engineering, also known as forest biotechnology or agroforestry, is an innovative approach that combines traditional forestry practices with modern biotechnological techniques to enhance the growth, health, and productivity of trees. This field focuses on developing genetically improved tree varieties that are more resilient to diseases, pests, and environmental stresses such as drought and extreme temperatures. Techniques include genetic modification, marker-assisted breeding, and tissue culture to produce trees with desirable traits like faster growth rates, improved wood quality, and enhanced carbon sequestration capabilities. By integrating these advanced methods with sustainable forestry practices, tree engineering aims to promote ecological balance, support biodiversity, and contribute to climate change mitigation while providing economic benefits through sustainable timber production and ecosystem services.
