Aim Marginal tree populations, either those located at the edges of the species' range or in
suboptimal environments, are often a valuable genetic resource for biological conservation …

Societal Impact Statement Forest trees tend to be strongly genetically adapted to their local
environments, but climate change will probably subject trees to novel combinations of …

Current global climate change is expected to affect biodiversity negatively at all scales
leading to mass biodiversity loss. Many studies have shown that the distribution of allele …

Abies alba is an important European tree species currently mostly found at cool and humid
sites in the montane zone. In the past, it grew under markedly warmer and drier climates …

Pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) is widely distributed across Europe and serves critical
ecological, economic, and recreational functions. Investigating its responses to stressors …

Abies alba Mill. is a prominent European tree species predominantly inhabiting cool and
humid montane environments. However, paleoecological evidence reveals that during the …

Abstract Background and Aims In Central Europe, the drought-tolerant downy oak (Quercus
pubescens) is at the northern edge of its natural distribution range, often growing in small …

Abstract The common European beech (Fagus sylvatica), sensitive to prolonged drought, is
expected to shift its distribution with climate change. To persist in novel environments, young …

Background/Objectives: The spruces of the Picea abies–P. obovata complex have a total
range that is the most extensive in the world flora of woody conifers. Hybridization between …

Exploring a species' paleohistory is crucial for understanding its responsiveness to climatic
events, identifying drivers of adaptation, and develo** effective biodiversity conservation …
