Indirect evidence for genetic differentiation in vulnerability to embolism in Pinus halepensis

Indirect evidence for genetic differentiation in vulnerability to embolism in Pinus halepensis

Climate change is increasing mean temperatures and in the eastern Mediterranean is expected to decrease annual precipitation. The resulting increase in aridity may be too rapid for adaptation of tree species unless their gene pool already possesses variation in drought resistance. Vulnerability to e...
