We investigated the genetic structure of three phenotypically distinct ecotypic groups of
Norway spruce (Picea abies) belonging to three elevational classes; namely, low …

Key message Tree bark and wood density are highly variable and weakly positively
correlated, with species having more or less dense bark than wood to adapt to different …

Inter-tree competition can be assessed using relatively simple indices derived from tree
diameters, heights and locations, but they have often been found to be deficient for …

Trees growing at high altitude or latitude have to be adapted, among others, to the lower
temperatures, a shorter vegetation period, heavier snow load, and frost desiccation …

This study analysed the stability of the narrow-crowned Norway spruce (pendula form)
compared with the classic form of spruce (pyramidalis form) in two half-sib field trials located …

Norway spruce is a widespread and economically highly important tree species in Central
Europe which occurs there in different morphotypic forms (also known as ecotypes) …

The pomegranate fruit is one of the most important horticultural products due to the presence
of polyphenols, anti-oxidant and anti-fungal compounds. In the present study, we report the …

The analysis of genetic variation underlying local adaptation in natural populations, together
with the response to different external stimuli, is currently a hot topic in forest sciences, with …

Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst.) is an important species in Latvia both ecologically and
economically, and has been subjected to silvicultural management in Latvia since at least …

In boreal forests, overwintering strategies, including snow adaptation, can be expected in
the branches of coniferous trees. Although it is difficult to detect resistance to snow …
