Key Points
Endangered Ulmus elongata shows significant demographic decline, especially during the last glacial maximum.
Whole-genome sequencing highlighted candidate genes for local adaptation and toxic response in U. elongata.
Population genomic analyses indicated a strong negative correlation with human activity, affecting genetic diversity.
Genomic studies suggest specific regions need focused conservation due to reduced adaptive capacity under climate change.
