The members of the genus Picea form a dominant component in many alpine and boreal
forests which are the major sink for atmospheric CO2. However, little is known about the …

High latitude forests will experience large changes in temperature and CO2 concentrations
this century. We evaluated the effects of future climate conditions on 2 dominant boreal tree …

We took comparative measurements of gas exchange response curves of two species of
spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst. and Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr.) exposed to high levels of …

Seedlings from a northern and a southern provenance of black spruce (Picea mariana Mill.
BSP) from eastern Canada were exposed to 37 or 71 Pa of carbon dioxide (CO2) during …

Picea crassifolia and P. wilsonii, commonly used for afforestation in northern China, are
increasingly likely to be subjected to high temperatures and soil drought stress as a result of …

We investigated the thermal acclimation of photosynthesis and respiration in black spruce
seedlings [Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP] grown at 22/14° C [low temperature (LT)] or 30/22° C …

Arctic Treeline is the transition from the boreal forest to the treeless tundra and may be
determined by growing season temperatures. The physiological mechanisms involved in …

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 …

The stability of monocultural, even-aged spruce forests at lower altitudes in Central Europe
is seriously threatened by the prospects of global climate change. The thermostability and …

Climate change, via warmer springs and autumns, may lengthen the carbon uptake period
of boreal tree species, increasing the potential for carbon sequestration in boreal forests …
