Turkish fir (Abies bornmuelleriana Mattf.) and Trojan fir (Abies equi-trojani (Aschers. Et Sint. Ex Boiss) Mattf.) are economically and ecologically important endemic species to Turkey. These species are also becoming increasingly popular in Europe and North America due to their suitable characteristics for use as Christmas trees coupled with their pest resistance. Provenance features, as well as needle and cone characteristics and seed germination ability, of three Turkish fir and two Trojan fir populations were studied. Provenance features (vigor score, crown score, and color) and mother tree characteristics (height class, diameter at breast height, and height) were very similar between …

The cork oak (Quercus suber L.) has been the focus of research dealing with the conservation and reforestation of this species due to its economic importance and the problem of deforestation affecting it. The genetic diversity of this tree species, its main aspect of adaptation, has not been sufficiently studied. The Moroccan cork oak tree is found in the northern part of the country, where the fruits of the tree are soft corns. This forest tree species has undergone a strong decline due to many factors, including a significant loss of its biological diversity. While working within the national framework …
