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 …

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 …

Growth traits of 43 IUFRO Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (BONG.) CARR.) provenances
(populations) at 10 test sites in British Columbia were analyzed in relation to 10 climatic …

Abstract Knowledge on the adaptation of trees to rapid environmental changes is essential
to preserve forests and their ecosystem services under climate change. Treeline populations …

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 …

A growing body of evidence suggests that climate change will have complex effects on the
boreal forests of western Canada. Studies that examine historical species responses over …

We investigated adaptation to climate in populations of two widespread tree species across
a range of contrasting environments in western Canada. In a series of common garden …

Genetic parameters of growth traits were estimated for first-generation selections of black
spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) in northwestern Ontario from 720 open-pollinated …

Data from 406 open-pollinated interior spruce families selected from 3 selection units
located in the East Kootenay, Prince George and Prince Rupert region of British Columbia …
