This section discusses the study findings regarding Whitebark Pine and Western White Pine, and reviews Model Refinements and Uncertainties.
Subsections found in Discussion
- Whitebark Pine : Past climate change has shaped the biogeography of whitebark pine and, hence, genetic relationships and potential adaptive traits.
- Western White Pine : Like whitebark pine, western white pine populations were also shaped by past climate change.
- Model Refinements and Uncertainties : Further refinements in the plant-climate model can be achieved by integrating knowledge from molecular and quantitative genetics.
