Popov P. P., Aleksandrov A. Kh. Variability of Cone Length and Seed Scale Shape in Norway Spruce Related to Geographical Latitude // Forest Science (Lesovedenie). 2010. No 4. P. 66-73 (in Russian).

Populations of Picea abies L. located along the conventional line - the Rodopy (the Rilo-Rodopy), the Carpathians, Belovezhskaya Pushcha, eastern Baltics, Karelian Isthmus, Northern Sweden, and Kola Peninsula - differ to a great extent in the cone length and seed scale shape. In each of these regions, groups of the populations formed differed notably.
