Effects of Wild Forest Fires on Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of a Boreal Conifer, White Spruce (<i>Picea glauca</i> (Moench) Voss): Implications for Genetic Resource Management and Adaptive Potential under Climate Change

Effects of Wild Forest Fires on Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of a Boreal Conifer, White Spruce (<i>Picea glauca</i> (Moench) Voss): Implications for Genetic Resource Management and Adaptive Potential under Climate Change

Climate change is predicted to increase forest fires in boreal forests, which can threaten the sustainability of forest genetic resources. Wildfires can potentially impact genetic diversity and population structure in forest trees by creating population bottlenecks, and influencing demography, effec...
