Lean Pattern in an Altitude Range Shift of a Tree Species: <i>Abies pinsapo</i> Boiss.

Organisms modify their geographical distributions in response to changes in environmental conditions, or modify their affinity to such conditions, to avoid extinction. This study explored the altitudinal shift of <i>Abies pinsapo</i> Boiss. in the Baetic System. We analysed the potential...
