- Abstract
All 396 Prunus padus individuals of the population with DBH ( diameter at breast height) ≥1 cm were sampled in a 25 hm² broadleaved Korean pine forest plot of Changbai Mountains and divided into three DBH classes: 1-3 cm, 3-10 cm, and >10 cm. They were then genotyped using microsatellite loci. The spatial autocorrelation of their genetic structure was analyzed at different distance classes and life stages. The results showed that positive autocorrelation mainly occurred at scales less than 70 m, while negative autocorrelation occurred at scales larger than 110 m. The spatial genetic structure (SGS) at different life stages was similar due to limited pollen/ seed dispersal and asexual reproduction. No significant self-thinning occurred in the studied population.
