Ecologically based management of white spruce (Picea glauca [Moench] Voss.) requires an
understanding of its patterns of adaptive variation. This understanding will become …

Known patterns of genetic variation among provenances are useful in gene resource
management such as guiding seed transfer and delineating breeding zones. The objectives …

Genetic differentiation among white spruce populations in Alberta, Canada, was studied
using time series data of height and diameter and a climatic index developed by principal …

Intraspecific assisted migration (ISAM) through seed transfer during artificial forest
regeneration has been suggested as an adaptation strategy to enhance forest resilience …

The distribution of genetic variation among and within provenances, the extent of genetic
control in growth and bud phenology traits and potential of early testing of height growth …

Because climate has the greatest effect in determining the genetic structure of forest tree
species, climatic variables with large effects on growth and survival need to be identified …

Introduction Genotype-environment interaction (GEI) among 19 white spruce provenances
planted on eight sites in Alberta, Canada, was analyzed using type B correlations (rp) and …

Hybrid zones contain extensive standing genetic variation that facilitates rapid responses to
selection. The Picea glauca× Picea engelmannii hybrid zone in western Canada is the focus …

Seedlings from 104 natural populations of Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii) and 10
blue spruce (Picea pungens) populations from the Intermountain West, USA, were …

Red spruce, Picea rubens Sarg., from 30 provenances was tested over a 23-year period at
six locations in the Maritimes Region of Canada. Twenty-eight of the provenances were from …
