Genetic diversity and dynamics in remnant patches of Araucaria angustifolia forest in Paraná State, Brazil : implications for conservation and restoration

The objective of this study was to assess the genetic diversity and dynamics in remnant patches of Araucaria angustifolia forest, with different levels of human modification. The Araucaria forest is one of the most important biomes occurring naturally in southern Brazil. Extensive logging and agricu...
