Optimisation of photosynthesis for environmental fitness is one of the most important
approaches to increase productivity and acclimate plants to unfavourable environmental …

European beech is one of the most common tree species in Europe and is generally
suggested to play even more of a prominent role in forestry in the future. It seems to have the …

Research Highlights: Data of advanced-age provenance tests were reanalyzed applying a
new approach, to directly estimate the growth of populations at their original sites under …

The impact of climate change on the physiological processes of Norway spruce in Central
Europe is a significant concern. The increased temperature and evaporative demand …

Phenotypic differentiation of Abies alba was identified among selected provenances
originating from the northern edge of this species' natural geographic range. We posited that …

Species distributed across a wide elevation range have broad environmental tolerance and
adopt specific adaptation strategies to cope with varying climatic conditions. The aim of this …

The distributions of the three Mexican spruces are fragmented, possibly leading to
phenological, morphological and genetic differentiation, which is partly caused by local …

Understanding how environmental adaptation varies among families within a species is
critical to adapt forestry activities such as management and breeding to possible future …

Prolonging drought periods and more extreme heatwaves limit tree species adaptation to
environmental changes. Silver fir (Abies alba, Mill.) has been considered one of the more …
