Multivariate drought stress response of Norway spruce, silver fir and Douglas fir along elevational gradients in Southwestern Germany

Abstract: The conifer tree species Norway spruce (Picea abies), silver fir (Abies alba) and Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) are important elements in tree species composition and forest management of Central European forests, but their potential to thrive under anticipated climatic changes is still debated controversially. This study contributes a multivariate analysis of resilience components based on increment cores sampled at breast height of Norway spruce, silver fir and Douglas fir trees growing along elevation… Show more

“…Strong differences between varieties dominate provenance variation in drought tolerance across the species Douglas-fir is known for its ability to tolerate dry conditions (Huang et al, 2022;Stangler et al, 2022) and being relatively resilient to unfavorable drought periods that restrict growth (Song et al, 2022;Vitali et al, 2017). Consistent with this, we observed only a slight reduction in photosynthetic efficiency one month after the start of the drought treatment in the experiment.…”
