Adaptation of ponderosa pine to climate change

Purpose: This project is addressing two goals pertinent to the need for arid-adapted ponderosa pines to use in reforestation projects during climate change: 1) identify ponderosa pine populations in the southwestern US suitable for future reforestation projects during increasing aridity; 2) understand traits of ponderosa pine associated with genetic adaptation to aridity.
