This paper adresses selected genetic properties of silver fir (Abies alba Mili.) populations in Slovenia. Using analyses of 10 enzyme systems and 16 isozyme gene loci, genetic structure, genetic diversity and genetic differentiation of 8 Slovene silver fir populations were estimated. On the basis of these characteristics, Slovene fir populations are compared to silver fir populations from other parts of Europe. Hypotheses tested were the effects of longitude and soil reaction on the genetic structure of silver fir populations in Slovenia.
