The importance of tree genetic variability in the ability of forests to respond and adapt to
environmental changes is crucial in forest management and conservation. Along with …

Abstract Purpose of Review Forestry in northern temperate and boreal regions relies heavily
on conifers. Rapid climate change and associated increases in adverse growing conditions …

The current projections of climate change might exceed the ability of European forest trees
to adapt to upcoming environmental conditions. However, stomatal and leaf morphological …

Trees are long‐lived organisms that continuously adapt to their environments, a process in
which epigenetic mechanisms are likely to play a key role. Via downregulation of the …

Gymnosperms are long-lived, cone-bearing seed plants that include some of the most
ancient extant plant species. These relict land plants have evolved to survive in habitats …

During autumn perennial trees cease growth and form structures called buds in order to
protect meristems from the unfavorable environmental conditions, including low temperature …

We investigated the genetic structure of three phenotypically distinct ecotypic groups of
Norway spruce (Picea abies) belonging to three elevational classes; namely, low …

Drought-induced mortality is a major direct effect of climate change on tree health, but
drought can also affect trees indirectly by altering their susceptibility to pathogens. Here, we …

Climate warming is modifying the movement of air masses over Northern latitudes,
producing warming and cooling events across the boreal regions. These new conditions …

Trees have a long lifespan and must continually adapt to environmental pressures, notably
in the context of climate change. Epigenetic mechanisms are doubtless involved in …
