Genetic structure and reproduction dynamics of Salix reinii during primary succession on Mount Fuji, as revealed by nuclear and chloroplast microsatellite analysis Export

@article{citeulike:1914214, abstract = {Abstract The early stage of volcanic desert succession is underway on the southeastern slope of Mount Fuji.
