The analysis and synthesis of the data on allozyme structure, polymorphism and degree of genogeographic differentiation of mountain populations of Scots pine isolated in the Ukrainian Carpathians showed considerable genetic variability of foothill and mountain populations of Pinus sylvestris L., as well as the average genetic distance between these groups of populations. The differentiation between these groups of populations isolated by the ridges corresponds to the rank of geographic groups of populations. On the basis of our results there are sufficient grounds to separate the Carpathian mountain geographical race of Pinus sylvestris L. – var. carpatica Klika.
