Śladami badań Władysława Jedlińskiego – określenie pochodzenia świerka na terenie Nadleśnictwa Skrwilno

Origin of Norway spruce in the territory of Skrwilno Forest District was studied with the use of mitochondrial mt−D02 region inherited through maternal line. The former suppositions of Jedliński, who claimed that the origin of spruce in this territory was natural, have been confirmed. Concurrently, it has been established that in the majority of tree stands subject to our study there occurs spruce of Carpathian origin. The obtained results together with the palinological data indicate that the northern border of spruce range in Poland runs right through the territory of Skrwilno Forest District and not about 100 km to the south from this place as has been claimed so far.
