It is a first attempt to understand distribution of genetic diversity of Juniperus seravschanica Kom. in Kyrgyzstan. I hope, in this book readers will understand biology, ecology and genetic diversity of juniper in Kyrgyzstan as well as in neighbouring countries. One needs to keep in mind, that present situation with climate change and anthropogenic pressure on juniper forest forced us to investigate genetic diversity of this very valuable tree species in terms of its ecological functions.
