Genetic conservation of the wild service

There is a useful on-line 6-page paper on the wild service tree (Sorbus torminalis) and its conservation here:

Demesure-Musch, B. & Oddou-Muratorio, S. (2004)  EUFORGEN Technical Guidelines for genetic conservation and use for wild service tree (Sorbus
torminalis).
  International Plant Genetic Resources Institute, Rome, Italy.  http://openpdf.com/viewer?url=http://www.euforgen.org/fileadmin/bioversity/publications/pdfs/1039.pdf

The illustrated text covers a general description of the tree, its economic importance, its global distribution (with an excellent map) and, of course, material in regard to its conservation.
