Genetic consequences of past climate and human impact on eastern Mediterranean Cedrus libani forests. Implications for their conservation

2008-02-01

Abstract excerpt

This study demonstrates the impact of natural factors and human activities on biodiversity at gene level on a keystone Mediterranean forest ecosystem species. We monitored the within and among population gene diversity of Cedrus libani, a forest tree species of the Eastern Mediterranean mountains. We used paternally inherited chloroplast microsatellites (57 haplotypes) and bi-parentally inherited isozymes (12 loci...
