Assessing the adaptive potential of European beech populations to temperature and precipitation along a steep environmental gradient in the south-eastern Carpathians.

Abstract excerpt

It is necessary to assess the adaptive potential of European beech populations to climate change. Environmental association analysis is a powerful tool for identifying gene loci that contribute to local adaptation to environmental pressures. Genotypic data were collected from ~100 adult beech trees per stand in five locations in the south-eastern Romanian Carpathians along an altitudinal gradient associated with...
