Potential for evolutionary responses to climate change–evidence from tree populations
Evolutionary responses are required for tree populations to be able to track climate change.
Results of 250 years of common garden experiments show that most forest trees have …

Champions of winter survival: cold acclimation and molecular regulation of cold hardiness in evergreen conifers
Evergreen conifers are champions of winter survival, based on their remarkable ability to
acclimate to cold and develop cold hardiness. Counterintuitively, autumn cold acclimation is …

Intra‐specific variability and plasticity influence potential tree species distributions under climate change
Aim To assess the effect of local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity on the potential
distribution of species under future climate changes. Trees may be adapted to specific …

Back to nature: ecological genomics of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda, Pinaceae)
AJ Eckert, AD Bower… - Molecular …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Genetic variation is often arrayed in latitudinal or altitudinal clines, reflecting either
adaptation along environmental gradients, migratory routes, or both. For forest trees, climate …

Plasticity in Dendroclimatic Response across the Distribution Range of Aleppo Pine (Pinus halepensis)
We investigated the variability of the climate-growth relationship of Aleppo pine across its
distribution range in the Mediterranean Basin. We constructed a network of tree-ring index …
