Genetic diversity, phenotypic variation and local adaptation in the alpine landscape: case studies with alpine plant species
Abstract Plant survival in alpine landscapes is constantly challenged by the harsh and often unpredictable environ-mental conditions. Steep environmental gradients and patchy distribution of habitats lead to small size and spatial isolation of populations and restrict gene flow. Agricultural land us...
