If we design the "ideal forest of the future"

I would form the core like this:

View	Fate
Pedunculate oak	35%
Sessile oak	20%
Downy oak	10% (in dry areas)
Holm oak	5% (in the warmest regions)
The rest of the oaks	5% to increase genetic diversity
Other species (ash, linden, maple, elm, hornbeam, etc.)	25%

This forest combines high biodiversity, resilience to climate change and a long life cycle.

For the DREVO project, we can go even further and developAtlas of the World's Oaks— a catalog of 100–150 species with data on frost hardiness, drought tolerance, salinity tolerance, growth rates, soil types, ecological role, compatibility with other trees, potential range under climate change, and recommendations for use in different natural zones. This could become a practical reference for long-term reforestation programs.

Ash is a genusFraxinusolive family. Depending on the accepted classification, it includes approximately45–65 species, distributed mainly in the temperate and subtropical regions of Europe, Asia, and North America. Most ash trees are deciduous, usually with opposite branches, compound odd-pinnate leaves, and winged fruits. (Plants of the World Online)
