Genetic Rescue of the Dinaric Lynx Population: Insights for Conservation From Genetic Monitoring and Individual‐Based Modelling [PDF]
Inbreeding depression poses a severe threat to small populations, leading to the fixation of deleterious mutations and decreased survival probability. While the establishment of natural gene flow between populations is an ideal long‐term solution, its ...

Influence of soil properties on silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) growth in the Dinaric Mountains
AbstractTree growth can be influenced by a wide variety of complex interacting factors. The contribution of soil to site productivity is confounded by the interactions between other site factors and silviculture. The contribution of soil properties to the growth of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) was studied in the Dinaric Mountains, which are ...
