ABSTRACT Silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) is one of the most valuable conifer trees in Europe for
historical and economic reasons. Growing interest in the species, along with the recognition …

We present a range-wide synthesis of our own research and related work on the complex
postglacial history of Abies alba Mill. It is based on macroremains, fossil pollen records as …

Growth rates of European silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) rapidly increased in the last century. At
the same time, ring widths declined at the species southern distribution limits in the …

Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) and silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) are main tree species
of Central Europe that are currently highly vulnerable in times of global climate change. The …

Silver fir is one of the most productive and ecologically valuable native European tree
species, however, it has been experiencing decline which has periodically occurred over its …

The diversification and distribution of Abies species throughout the Mediterranean region
has led to a complex of species which are difficult to classify. An open question is whether …

Aim The main aim of the present study is to infer the post‐glacial history of Abies species
from north‐east Asia and to test the hypotheses that coastal Abies populations suffered less …

At northern temperate latitudes trees have adjusted their ranges substantially in response to
changing climates during the Holocene. Results from dispersal model simulations suggest …

Genetic exchange between divergent lineages of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) was studied in
the Ukrainian Carpathians where two expanding populations originating from different …

This paper focuses on the Late Glacial (LG) and Holocene regional and local establishment
times of several tree and shrub species in the Retezat Mountains (South Carpathians) using …
