The role of forest genetic resources in responding to biotic and abiotic factors in the context of anthropogenic climate change

2014-12-01

Abstract excerpt

The current distribution of forest genetic resources on Earth is the result of a combination of natural processes and human actions. Over time, tree populations have become adapted to their habitats including the local ecological disturbances they face. As the planet enters a phase of human-induced climate change of unprecedented speed and magnitude, however, previously locally-adapted populations are rendered les...
