Forest fragmentation - the division of continuous forest tracts into separate, isolated areas - poses a serious threat to biodiversity and ecosystem functions.
The study was conducted on two adjacent sites: a former pasture that retained the features of a natural meadow, and an abandoned cropland where vegetation rapidly transitioned to a young forest.
Genetic analysis demonstrated that the discovered population was not the product of an accidental introduction, but rather represents an original genetic lineage.
