Genetic monitoring for effective plant conservation: An example using the threatened Saxifraga hirculus L. in Scotland
Societal Impact Statement Many mountain plants persist in small, isolated patches on the verge of extinction. Observational methods of monitoring these populations, such as recording the number of flowering stems, do not indicate the number of genetically distinct individuals, which is crucial infor...
