Functional distance is driven more strongly by environmental factors than by genetic relatedness in Juniperus thurifera L. expanding forest stands

Kinship coefficients were calculated for pairs of individuals located up to 10 m from each other. p values correspond to permutation tests (values are provided in italics when p < 0.05)
