Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Endangered woody plants are threatened by habitat degradation, demographic instability, and genetic erosion. Ormosia microphylla (small-leaved Ormosia) is an endangered tree, but how genetic, demographic, and environmental factors jointly contribute to its decline remains insufficiently resolved. METHODS: We investigated the age structure of seven wild O. microphylla populations and resequenced 62...
