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 …

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 …

Tree improvement programs usually consist of multiple breeding populations that target
different climatic or ecological regions. Parent breeding material normally originates from …

Tree improvement programs often focus on improving productivity-related traits; however,
under present climate change scenarios, climate change-related (adaptive) traits should …

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

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 …

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 …

Red spruce (Picea rubens) is a long-lived tree species that thrives in cool, moist environs. Its
ability to adapt to rapidly changing climate is uncertain. In the southern Appalachian …

The adaptive capacity of boreal tree species to thrive in a warming, more variable climate
has significant implications for boreal forest ecosystem structure and function …

Approximately, 123,500 forest inventory and ecological ground plots representing eastern
North America were used to predict the contemporary distribution of eastern white pine …
