Stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) has received limited attention in terms of genetic research.
However, genomic techniques hold promise for decoding the stone pine genome and …

Aim Knowing a species' response to historical climate shifts helps understanding its
perspectives under global warming. We infer the hitherto unresolved postglacial history of …

Background Genetic processes shape the modern-day distribution of genetic variation within
and between populations and can provide important insights into the underlying …

Tree rings are an ecological indicator, useful for studying the adaptation of trees in a
changing environment, especially in the unique habitat of high-elevation cliff forests. The …

Habitat fragmentation can prevent gene flow between plant populations and lead to a loss of
genetic diversity. However, such impact of fragmentation has not always been consistently …

Owing to the fact that mitochondrial, chloroplast and nuclear genomes are differently
affected by evolutionary forces, the comparative study of all three genomes in combination …

Abstract Masson pine (Pinus massoniana Lamb.) is one of the most economically important
and widely distributed forest species in China. Understanding the genetic diversity and …

The high mountain plants of Central and Southern Europe survived the glacial periods in the
same mountain ridges, but at lower altitudes and possibly covering larger areas than during …

In paleoecology, the function of biomass as a fire driver has become a focus of attention in
cold ecosystems, and concerns have been raised about climate in this context. Little is …

Historic transfer of larch from Alpine sources to Southern and Eastern Carpathians has been
verified by means of nuclear genetic markers. Tyrolean populations can be differentiated …
