This project takes an ecological and genetic approach to better understand the interaction of landscape characteristics (geology, climatic gradients, soil properties) and evolutionary processes (gene flow, selection) on ecologically important plant traits (water-use efficiency, disease resistance, phenology, and growth) of western white pine across the LTBMU, to determine the adaptive potential of this forest tree.
