Abstract

This mini-review is devoted to dendrogenomics, a new interdisciplinary field of research that integrates dendrochronology, dendroecology, dendroclimatology, genetics and genomics. This novel approach allows joint analyses of dendrological and genomic data and opens new ways to study temporal dynamics of forest treelines, to delineate spatial and temporal population structure and, most of all, to study the adaptive genetic potential of forest tree populations. These problems are especially relevant to predicting how climate change will shape distribution of boreal forest species.
