Systematics and Genetic Structure of Ponderosae Taxa (Pinaceae) Inhabiting the Mountain Islands of the Southwest
Rehfeldt GE. 1999. Systematics and Genetic Structure of Ponderosae Taxa (Pinaceae) Inhabiting the Mountain Islands of the Southwest. American Journal of Botany. 86(5):741-752
The systematics and genetic structure of taxa representing the Ponderosae subsection of genus Pinus were assessed for disjunct, isolated and peripheral populations occupying the mountain islands of the Southwest. Wind-pollinated progenies of 290 trees were compared in common gardens according to ten variables reflecting allometric, needle, and phenologic chaarcteristics of 2-yr-old trees.
