Spatially heterogeneous selection and inter-varietal differentiation maintain population structure and local adaptation in a widespread conifer
Overall, our findings provide crucial insights into the population structure and adaptive potential of Douglas-fir, with the coastal variety being the most likely to preserve its evolutionary path throughout the present century, which carry implications for the conservation and management of this species across their range.
