Cover Story: European oak forests are largely dominated by Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl., a white oak species of significant ecological, coenological, and economic importance. Its remarkable adaptability to diverse environments can be attributed to its high phenotypic plasticity, genetic diversity, and frequent hybridization. Leaf morphology plays a pivotal role in species identification, particularly within the Q. petraea group, where taxonomic variability largely depends on leaf traits. Geometric morphometric studies have proven effective in uncovering the relationships between variations in leaf size and shape and environmental factors. The findings of this research indicate that Q. petraea populations primarily differ in leaf size, which decreases along a north-to-south geographical gradient. View this paper
