Short‐ and Long‐Term Growth Response to Multiple Drought Episodes: Evidence of Genetic Adaptation in a Conifer Species Open
Drought tolerance of tree species is a concern in the context of climate change, and tree ring analyses can be used to assess past growth response(s), to drought events. In the current study, we applied this approach to 1281 individuals wi…

Physiological Traits Combination Shapes Common Strategies of Water and Carbon Use Regulation Across Fruit Tree Species Open
Crop plants, including fruit trees, are particularly vulnerable to water scarcity because past selection prioritized productivity over drought resistance, making it challenging to maintain productivity with minimal water use in the context…

Role of hydraulic traits in stomatal regulation of transpiration under different vapour pressure deficits across five Mediterranean tree crops Open
The differential stomatal regulation of transpiration among plant species in response to water deficit is not fully understood, although several hydraulic traits have been reported to influence it. This knowledge gap is partly due to a lac…

Decoupling of height growth and drought or pest resistance tradeoffs is revealed through multiple common-garden experiments of lodgepole pine Open
The environment could alter growth and resistance tradeoffs in plants by affecting the ratio of resource allocation to various competing traits. Yet, how and why functional tradeoffs change over time and space is poorly understood particul…

Integrating genomic information and productivity and climate-adaptability traits into a regional white spruce breeding program Open
Tree improvement programs often focus on improving productivity-related traits; however, under present climate change scenarios, climate change-related (adaptive) traits should also be incorporated into such programs. Therefore, quantifyin…

View article: Genetic variation in leaf traits and gas exchange responses to vapour pressure deficit in contrasting conifer species
Genetic variation in leaf traits and gas exchange responses to vapour pressure deficit in contrasting conifer species Open
Mechanistically predicting the evolutionary response of tree species to climate change requires an understanding of genetic variation in relevant traits. Here we compared the phenotypic and genetic variation in the Leaf Economics Spectrum …

Xylem Anomalies as Indicators of Maladaptation to Climate in Forest Trees: Implications for Assisted Migration Open
Xylem anomalies that are caused by unusual climate events have long been used to aid cross-dating in tree ring research. Here, we analyzed a range of xylem anomalies in a 39-year-old common garden experiment of white spruce (Picea glauc…

Adaptive limitations of white spruce populations to drought imply vulnerability to climate change in its western range Open
A cost‐effective climate change adaptation strategy for the forestry sector is to move seed sources to more northern and higher elevation planting sites as part of ongoing reforestation programs. This is meant to match locally adapted popu…

Adaptation of white spruce populations to extreme climate events: implications for assisted migration practices in Western Canada Open
The movement of seed sources from south to north has been proposed as a tool to mitigate the effect of climate change on forest productivity and mortality. Southern provenances, coming from warmer regions are expected to better utilize the…

Adaptations of white spruce to climate: strong intraspecific differences in cold hardiness linked to survival Open
Understanding local adaptation of tree populations to climate allows the development of assisted migration guidelines as a tool for forest managers to address climate change. Here, we study the relationship among climate, a wide range of p…
