Morphological and anatomical differentiation in peripheral Pinus sylvestris L. populations from the Carpathian region
Journal: Dendrobiology
Year: 2017

Carpathian Scots pine populations having peripheral distribution within the species' range are often sustained in specific types of habitats, such as peat bogs and rocky surfaces or lime consisting sandy substrates. Due to their long time adaptive processes, which involve genotypes that can be preadapted to a given selection pressure, historically isolated populations are subjects of particular interest in studies of in situ adaptation. In this study we focus on detecting the level of phenotypic
