VARIABILITY OF SEED SCALES INDEXES OF <i>PICEA ABIES </i>(L.) KARST. IN NATURAL POPULATIONS OF UKRAINIAN CARPATHIANS
Variability of seed scales of Picea abies (L.) Karst. in six natural populations of Ukrainian Carpathians was studied. The coefficients of narrowing (Cn) and projection (Cp), characterizing the shape of the upper part of seed scales distinguish by low and middle variability degree. The populations considered have no geographical (clinal) variation by these coefficients from southeast to northwest and therefore they can not be recommended as phenomarkers in the Carpathian area.
