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 …

Species in the genus Picea are well-suited for afforestation on high altitudes and latitudes,
but are fairly intolerant to high temperatures. In this study, Picea pungens, Picea abies, and …

Global warming and droughts push forests closer to their thermal limits, altering tree carbon
uptake and growth. To prevent critical overheating, trees can adjust their thermotolerance (T …

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 …

Low temperatures are generally limiting factors in alpine ecosystems. Predicted global
warming therefore could have profound impacts on these ecosystems in the future. This …

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 …

During the exposition to moderate high-temperature stress, photosynthetic rates and
fluorescence of chlorophyll a were measured with a photosynthetic measurement system (Li …

To assess the responses and plasticity of white spruce seedlings (Picea glauca (Moench)
Voss) to high temperatures, 12 open-pollinated families differing in growth performance …

The short‐term effects of two levels of air temperature (ambient and warmed) and light (full
light and ca. 10% of full light regimes) on the early growth and physiology of Picea asperata …

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 …
