Biodiversity at the species and individual levels is one of the fundamental elements characterizing an ecosystem. It is assumed that the greater the level of biodiversity, the more tolerant the environment is to changes in external conditions. In recent years, dynamic climate change has negatively impacted the health of many forest trees across Europe, in particular Scots pine. Tree health is commonly characterized by crown defoliation. The study presented here describes and correlates crown defoliation with biodiversity indicators at the species and individual tree levels. Research was conducted in two national parks in Poland (Kampinoski and Bory Tucholskie). Since stands have been under legal protection for many years and forest management is not practiced there, stand development processes taking place there are similar to natural ones. This study provided empirical data on ecosystem response to external stresses based on species and genetic structure. The results confirm differing health of the populations, which results from, among other factors, stand age and the environmental conditions in which they grow. Pine stands in both national parks are genetically diverse but with low genetic variability. Differences in stand health are related to the number of alleles forming the genetic pool. This conclusion is supported by a high correlation coefficient for interactions between defoliation, the number of alleles, and the Shannon index for genotypes. This suggests that greater gene diversity is likely to provide a wider range of phenotypic responses to environmental change.

Pulsatilla × ha c kelii Pohl. is the most common hybrid between Pulsatilla patens and Pulsatilla pratensis. It occurs in the natural environment, most often in sites together with parental forms. Pulsatilla × ha c kelii is morphologically intermediate between the pure Pulsatilla species. Separation of hybrid individuals from pure Pulsatilla species requires a whole set of morphological features. Completed plastid genome provides molecular evidence for the hybrid origin of Pulsatilla × ha c kelii. In our study, we present the—genotypic characteristics of Pulsatilla × ha c kelii based on microsatellite markers developed for Pulsatilla vulgaris. A specimen of the hybrid was found in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains, near Bocheniec village, in the vicinity of a forest road in a fresh mixed coniferous forest (Querco roboris-Pinetum (W. Mat. 1981) J. Mat. 1988). We amplified a set of 10 microsatellites in two multiplex PCR reactions. From the 10 analyzed loci, we successfully amplified eight. The analyzed microsatellites in population studies of three Pulsatilla species showed some species-specific alleles. In the case of the Pulsatilla × ha c kelii sample, we obtained PCR products in the case of 5 loci developed for P. vulgaris but successfully crossamplified in P. patens and P. pratensis. Additionally, we obtained results for two loci, which crossamplified only for Pulsatilla patens and one only for Pulsatilla pratensis. Among the investigated markers, two were monomorphic and the remaining six were polymorphic, which makes them highly informative in population studies for pasque-flower species as Pulsatilla patens, P. pratensis, and P. vernalis. The obtained results indicated that analyzed microsatellite markers could be used for hybrids identification, although there is a need for further research on a larger number of hybridized individuals.
