Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: China is one of the countries most severely affected by desertification. Haloxylon ammodendron (Amaranthaceae) is an ecologically important component of the desert ecosystem and is one of the main tree species used for restoration, yet we know little about its genetic structure. METHODS: Genetic variation within and between nine populations of H. ammodendron from two regions of China was...
