Our research utilises RAD-sequencing to reveal how genetic diversity and structure have fluctuated over centuries within three distinct sites. We assess the impacts of environmental changes and human influence on these long-lived species by comparing genetic data across multiple age classes—from ancient veteran oaks to young saplings and acorns.
