Trees are key ecosystem engineers. Many analyses of the genetic diversity of forest trees
over substantial parts of their distributional ranges are appearing. These studies are of …

Background and Purpose: Turkish hazel (Corylus colurna L.) has been overused because of
its valuable wood. Recently, Turkish hazel has been found only in small isolated …

Southern Europe is home to two naturally occurring pear species: the European wild pear
(Pyrus pyraster (L.) Burgsd.) and the almond-leaved pear (P. spinosa Forssk.). In addition to …

Forest fragmentation may negatively affect plants through reduced genetic diversity and
increased population structure due to habitat isolation, decreased population size, and …

The conservation and sustainable use of forest genetic resources (FGR) in the face of the
threat posed by climate change has become a challenging task for scientists and foresters …

Sorbus aucuparia (Rosaceae) is a small tree species widely distributed in Eurasia. The
Hyrcanian forest is the southernmost distribution limit of this species. Severe habitat …

This account presents information on all aspects of the biology of Sorbus torminalis (L.)
Crantz (Wild Service‐tree) that are relevant to understanding its ecological characteristics …

Knowing the level of genetic diversity and structure in marginal plant populations is essential
for managing their genetic resources. This is particularly important for rare scattered tree …

The paper presents the proposal of a strategy of conservation of genetic resources of wild
service tree (Sorbus torminalis) in Polish forests. Some results of the recent studies on …

The genetic variation in fourteen Sorbus torminalis (L.) Crantz. populations distributed over
the eastern and south-eastern part of its range was studied using seven nuclear …
