Exploring interspecific hybridization dynamics in artificial forests of Pinus brutia and P. halepensis: Implications for sustainable afforestation.

Abstract excerpt

Interspecific hybridization increases genetic diversity, which is essential for coping with changing environments. Hybrid zones, occurring naturally in overlapping habitats of closely related species, can be artificially established during afforestation. The resulting interspecific hybridization may promote sustainability in artificial forests, particularly in regions facing degradation due to climate change....
