Abstract excerpt
PREMISE: Snow is an important environmental factor affecting plant distribution. Past changes in snowfall regimes may have controlled the demographies of snow-dependent plants. However, our knowledge of changes in the distribution and demographies of such plants is limited because of the lack of fossil records. METHODS: Population genetic and landscape genetic analyses were used to investigate the response of...
