Population genomics of a reindeer lichen species from North American lichen woodlands
PREMISE Lichens are one of the main structural components of plant communities in the North American boreal biome. They play a pivotal role in lichen woodlands, a large ecosystem situated north of the closed‐crown forest zone, and south of the forest–tundra zone. In Eastern Canada (Quebec), there is...
