Description: To investigate local adaptation to soil fertility, seeds were collected
from trees in natural stands selected on one fertile and one nearby
ultramafic soil in four geographic areas in the northern Sierra Nevada.
Germinants from all seed parents in an area were planted in soils dug
from the A horizon of both parent stands. Seedling growth on the fertile
and ultramafic soils suggested no specific adaptation ofparent stands to
native soil. For every stand, the growth of seedlings from individual
trees varied widely on both soils. Differences among families were
highly significant, and one-fourth of the families showed significant
differential responses to soil type.
Keywords: Pinus ponderosa; genetic variation; germination; plant-soil relations; seedling growth
