Status of Quercus palustris conservation in Europe
The species is poorly studied, and genetic information is lacking. Therefore, no genetically distinct populations or separation has been identified within pin oak (Barta et al., 2017). However, differences in populations’ tolerance to floods or iron chlorosis (iron deficiency) suggests there are genetically distinct populations (McQuilkin, n.d.). Pin oak was found to be the most genetically distinct when compared with red oak (Quercus rubra) and Shumard oak (Quercus shumardii) (Aldrich et al., 2003).
The bibliographic review was conducted by James Chaplin of the EUFORGEN Secretariat in August 2024.
Oaks have a high tendency to hybridize and have limited genetic barriers between one another. This makes it difficult to identify oak species through DNA barcoding (Johnson and Trott, 2017). Pin oak frequently hybridizes with red oak but, potentially, five hybrids of the species have been recognized: Quercus palustris x shumardii, Quercus palustris x velutina, Quercus palustris x phellos, Quercus palustris x rubra, and an unnamed hybrid with scarlet oak (Quercus coccinea) (McQuilkin, n.d.; Aldrich et al., 2003). Hybridization, difficulty in genetically identifying the species, and a lack of research creates many taxonomic uncertainties in the species (Aldrich et al., 2003). Even using morphological identifiers can be a poor way to identify underlying genetic structure in oak populations, contributing further to the uncertainty of genetic distribution in pin oak (Aldrich et al., 2003).
