•We predict climate change-related genetic offset for Araucaria araucana.•According genomic-environmental association of 18,988 unlinked SNPs, 896 were detected as putatively adaptive.•Temperature annual range as most important selective force driving adaptive divergence.•Piedmonts in Southern Andes...
