“…The regression depicts an exponential decline of height growth with increasing relative drought stress, determined by the past drought conditions at the site of origin. The regression is similar to unilateral climate transfer distance regressions calculated in provenance tests of other species (e.g., beech: [49]; sessile oak: [40]). Earlier findings [34,35] indicated that silver fir provenances display high within-species differentiation regarding adaptive stress response when compared to other species are upheld by these results.…”

“…The advantage of local provenances compared to non-locals is generally derived from transfer functions based on common garden results. However, if response norms are available for individual populations, the assumed superiority of artificially regenerated (transferred) local populations may often be questioned [40,55,56]. Here, this was also found for silver fir.…”

“…These tolerance profiles are transfer functions (even if shown only as scatter of data points), comparing the responses of different populations in the same common garden test. They have to be distinguished from reaction norms of individual populations expressing their phenotypic plasticity across numerous test sites [40]. Lacking data of similar-age parallel trials, the results did not allow for the calculation and comparison of reaction norms.…”

“…Positive differences indicate a transfer to drier and/or warmer sites (=mimicked climatic warming); negative values signify transfer to cooler and/or wetter sites (=mimicked climatic cooling). The 0 value stands for a climate equivalent to that at the site of provenance [40].…”

“…The calculated regression is exponential and attains a significant R 2 value (0.705, p ≤ 0.05). The equation is unilateral, i.e., it shows the change of growth response towards only one limit of tolerance, here towards the xeric limit [40]. The regression mean height vs. dCMD ann indicates the best height response for provenances with origins close to the test site, but the example of Borovec (BG) shows that transferred populations may attain similar performance.…”

Research Highlights: Data of advanced-age provenance tests were reanalyzed applying a new approach, to directly estimate the growth of populations at their original sites under individually generated future climates. The results revealed the high resilience potential of fir species. Background and Objectives: The growth and survival of silver fir under future climatic scenarios are insufficiently investigated at the xeric limits. The selective signature of past climate determining the current and projected growth was investigated to analyze the prospects of adaptive silviculture and assisted transfer of silver fir populations, and the introduction of non-autochthonous species. Materials and Methods: Hargreaves’ climatic moisture deficit was selected to model height responses of adult populations. Climatic transfer distance was used to assess the relative drought stress of populations at the test site, relating these to the past conditions to which the populations had adapted. ClimateEU and ClimateWNA pathway RCP8.5 data served to determine individually past, current, and future moisture deficit conditions. Besides silver fir, other fir species from South Europe and the American Northwest were also tested. Results: Drought tolerance profiles explained the responses of transferred provenances and predicted their future performance and survival. Silver fir displayed significant within-species differentiation regarding drought stress response. Applying the assumed drought tolerance limit of 100 mm relative moisture deficit, most of the tested silver fir populations seem to survive their projected climate at their origin until the end of the century. Survival is likely also for transferred Balkan fir species and for grand fir populations, but not for the Mediterranean species. Conclusions: The projections are less dramatic than provided by usual inventory assessments, considering also the resilience of populations. The method fills the existing gap between experimentally determined adaptive response and the predictions needed for management decisions. It also underscores the unique potential of provenance tests.

Oak decline is a complex disorder caused by multiple stressors. Although declines have been observed across Europe since 1700, there is still a lot of uncertainty around the cause, and therefore the appropriate management techniques. Using literature from across European oak ecosystems, this review and perspective discusses the key stressors associated with oak declines in Quercus robur L. and Q. petraea (Matt.) Liebl. in Europe and the newly described acute oak decline breaking out in the United Kingdom (and beyond), with a view to identifying important evidence gaps and management implications. The key factors implicated in oak decline include drought, pests and pathogens. These factors can interact in positive feedback loops to increase stress and decline within oaks. Extreme frost, waterlogging, soil properties, land management, nitrogen pollution, heavy metal pollution, genetic predisposition and mycorrhizal changes could also be involved in decline, but more research is required to understand these. In acute oak decline, necrotic lesions are caused by a bacterial complex of up to three species, and it has been observed that the presence of the wood borer Agrilus biguttatus Fabricius 1776 can amplify the symptoms. Practical implication: The amount that each stressor contributes towards these declines and the ‘tipping points’ are largely unknown and are likely to differ between decline events, sites and even individual trees. This makes management advice provision exceedingly difficult. Historic records show oaks in decline can recover; therefore, allowing trees time and space to recover should be a priority for management practitioners. Future research recommendations for effective management of declining oaks are discussed.
