A comparative study of beech forest understorey species
We reconstruct the glacial and postglacial biogeographic history of Aposeris foetida, Cardamine trifolia and Hacquetia epipactis, three forest herbs strongly associated with beech, the most abundant deciduous tree of temperate Europe. We aimed at disentangling the biogeographic pattern of these three species, by application of spatially and temporally explicit demographic models.
