Status of Taxodium distichum conservation in Europe
Blad cypress is a diploid species that has high genetic diversity and heterozygosity in its native range in North America, with most genetic diversity being within populations (Lickey and Walker, 2002; Webb, 2008; Tanaka et al., 2012). Up to 90% of genetic variation is within populations (Tsumura et al., 1999). Within-population genetic diversity of bald cypress is high, and it has a wide variety of adaptive traits, indicating significant genetic potential in the species (Jokanovic et al., 2012).
In its North American range, bald cypress has two genetically differentiated groups, the most common form is in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain and another is in Florida, both of which have similar levels of genetic diversity (Lickey and Walker, 2002; Tanaka et al., 2012). These two groups may originate from different glacial refugia (Tanaka et al., 2012). There is a significant correlation between genetic and geographical distance in bald cypress in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (Tanaka et al., 2012).
The bibliographic review was conducted by James Chaplin of the EUFORGEN Secretariat in August 2024.
The taxonomic status of bald cypress is unclear, with pond cypress (Taxodium ascendens) and Montezuma bald cypress (Taxodium mucronatum) being genetically similar, and frequent inbreeding between bald cypress and both pond cypress and Montezuma bald cypress has created many hybrid forms (Tsumura et al., 1999; Webb, 2008). However, Montezuma cypress and pond cypress may be considered varieties of bald cypress which diverged through population isolation since they are so genetically similar (Webb, 2008).
