Population genetic structure, genetic diversity, and demographic history in Fagus crenata
Japanese beech (Fagus crenata) is a dominant tree species in cool-temperate deciduous broad-leaved forests in Japan. This project aims to investigate population genetic structure, geographic patterns of genetic diversity, and historical population dynamics across the species' range using genome-wide SNP data. This study will provide useful information for identifying conservation units and serve as a basis for future studies of local adaptation in F. crenata.
