Less understood is whether the practice of creating plantations might also erode genetic diversity and undermine the genetic structure of tree populations. We tested these hypotheses in natural and planted populations of Pinus brutia Ten. subsp. brutia and Cupressus sempervirens L. var. horizontalis (Mill.), 2 important forestry species in the Mediterranean region. We used plant material from 3 different bioclimatic regions in Syria. Using RAPD markers, we evaluated the genetic diversity and structure of 12 populations of P. brutia (6 natural, 6 planted) and 9 populations of C. sempervirens (3 natural, 6 planted). Expected heterozygosity (H-e) and percentage of polymorphic loci (PPL) were high in both species (P. brutia: H-e = 0.241, PPL = 81.2%; C. sempervirens: H-e = 0.241, PPL = 78.8%).
