The fast changing climatic conditions due to current global change pose a serious threat to the planet's biodiversity and to the ecosystem services it provides. In case of abrupt climate change as currently observed, species need either to adapt to their new conditions, or migrate into favorable habitats. Here I propose a comprehensive study to investigate the genomic adaptations driven by environmental factors in sugar maples, a species complex with a wide distribution in eastern North-America.

由于当前的全球变化而引起的快速变化的气候状况对地球的生物多样性和所提供的生态系统服务构成了严重威胁。如果目前观察到的气候变化发生突然变化，物种需要适应其新条件，或者迁移到有利的栖息地中。在这里，我提出了一项全面的研究，以研究由糖枫（Sugar Maples）中环境因素驱动的基因组适应，该物种在东北北美地区的分布广泛。
