“…The zonification developed based on the least significant difference that made two populations differ genetically for relevant quantitative traits is two-fold, such that forest managers can choose to use either elevation or climatic values to decide seed and seedling movements. The elevational interval that delineates the new zonification, 350 m of elevational difference, is broader in range than previously utilized elevation intervals (250 m of elevational difference), the delimitation of which was based solely on morphological evaluation (longitude of cones and needles; CASTELLANOS-ACUÑA et al, 2014).…”

“…Abies religiosa populations exhibit morphological differentiation for cone size and needle length along the elevational gradient (CASTELLANOS-ACUÑA et al, 2014). This differentiation is likely to have a genetic basis due to the selective force imposed by the climate gradient, as has been demonstrated for several conifers in North America and Mexico (some examples are: REHFELDT 1988;REHFELDT et al, 2014a;2014b;RUIZ-TALONIA et al, 2014;LOYA-REBOLLAR et al, 2013).…”

Genetic Variation in Abies religiosa for Quantitative Traits and Delineation of Elevational and Climatic Zoning for Maintaining Monarch Butterfly Overwintering Sites in Mexico, considering Climatic Change

et al. 2017

Conservation of Abies religiosa (sacred fir) within the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve (MBBR) in Mexico requires adaptive management to cope with expected climatic change, in order to have healthy trees for Danaus plexippus overwintering sites in the future. Open pollinated seeds from fifteen A. religiosa populations were collected along an elevational gradient (2850-3550 masl; one sampled population every 50 m of elevational difference). Seedlings were evaluated in a common garden test over a period of 30 months. We found significant differences (P < 0.03) among populations in total elongation, final height, date of growth cessation, foliage, stem and total dry weight, as well as frost damage. These differences were strongly associated with the Mean Temperature of the Coldest Month (MTCM; r2= 0.6222, P = 0.0005). Seedlings originating from lower elevation populations grew more but suffered more frost damage than those from higher elevations. Populations differentiate genetically when they are separated by 364 m in elevation. Such differentiation was used to delineate three elevational/climatic zones for seed collection, with limits defined at: 2650 masl or 9.7 °C of MTCM; 3000 masl or 8.5 °C; 3350 masl or 7.3 °C; and 3700 masl or 6.1 °C. Zonification for seedling deployment aiming to match a suitable climate in year 2030 (after projections using an ensemble of 18 General Circulation Models and a Representative Concentration Pathway 6.0 watts/ m2), would have the same MTCM zone limits, but shifted 350 m upwards in elevation. This shift would exceed the highest elevations within the MBBR, necessitating the establishment of A. religiosa stands outside the MBBR, to serve as potential future overwintering sites.

Introduction: A species’ populations differ across its distribution due to selection pressure from the climate gradient. Objective: To describe the phytochemical variation among 14 tree provenances in an altitudinal gradient of Abies religiosa (Kunth) Schltdl. & Cham. to determine if there are associations of chemical profiles among populations, expressed under a single environment. Materials and methods: Seeds were collected from 165 trees from an altitudinal transect from 2 850 to 3 540 m in Cerro San Andrés, Municipio Libre de Hidalgo, Michoacán, Mexico. The plant was grown in a common garden trial; at 28 months, mature needles were collected per tree and analyzed by gas-mass chromatography. Data were analyzed with diversity indices, ANOVA and multivariate analysis (principal components, correspondences and cluster). Results and discussion: Thirty-two compounds were identified, most of them terpenes. The populations showed differences in presence/absence of terpenes and in their concentration; above 3 350 m, diversity was lower, but with higher concentration. Three altitude groups were found based on the chemical profile of the populations: low = 2 850 to 3 300 m and 3 400 m; moderate = 3 350, 3 450 and 3 500 m; and high= 3 540 m. Conclusions: The diversity and concentration of terpenes in A. religiosa varied depending on the altitude of populations. There are three chemical profiles that should be considered in the implementation of germplasm collection programs for reforestation and restoration

“…The regression model fit between population performance against climate or altitude of the population of origin was used to delineate the zones, as well the association between altitude and climate values of the provenances (REHFELDT, 1991;SÁENZ-ROMERO et al, 2006). It is noteworthy that use of 0.2 alpha error on this zone delineation process leads to a more conservative set of management rules, because the resulting altitudinal intervals, making two population significantly different, are narrower and therefore there will be more restrictions on seed movement (SÁENZ-ROMERO et al, 2006;SOTO-CORREA et al, 2012;CASTELLANOS-ACUÑA et al, 2014).…”

Altitudinal genetic variation among native Pinus patula provenances: performance in two locations, seed zone delineation and adaptation to climate change

To select the genetic source of Pinus patula Shiede and Deppe seed best adapted to different native zones for reforestation, seedlings of 12 provenances native to a selected altitudinal gradient in Oaxaca, southern Mexico, were planted on two sites at contrasting altitudes (high 3000 m above sea level (masl) and low, 2500 masl) within the species natural distribution, and tested for growth in height at age 18, 24 and 36 months. Differences among provenances and between sites showed significance (p<0.05). Seedling growth showed a climatic and altitudinal pattern, in which seedlings from populations originating in low-middle altitudes had higher growth than populations originating in high altitudes, and from the extreme low altitude limit. Results were used to delineate climatic and altitudinal seed zones for contemporary and future climate zones in the decade centered in year 2030, using the average results of six climate-emissions scenarios. The results indicate that splitting the region into four seed zones is appropriate under contemporary climate scenarios with the following altitude limits: Zone 1, from 2300 to 2500 masl; Zone 2, 2500 to 2700 masl; Zone 3, 2700 to 2900 masl and Zone 4 from 2900 to 3100 masl. The equivalence on climatic intervals was also defined for mean annual temperature, precipitation and an annual aridity index (AAI). Values of contemporary AAI occurring at a given altitude by year 2030 were determined, with results suggesting that populations should be shifted 200 to 250 m attitudinally upward, through a program of assisted migration, to realign them to the future climate for which they are adapted.
