“…This study shows that at the regional scale, the different frost tolerance and growth potential of spruce species and seed sources need to be considered to maximize wood production of future plantations established in frost‐prone environments (Park et al., 2014). Black spruce buds flush later than white spruce, which reduces its exposure to spring frost, and increase growth during years of spring frost compared to white spruce (Man et al, 2017; Marquis et al., 2020). However, whereas black spruce grows more than white spruce during years of growing‐season frosts, white spruce's greater growth rate makes it grow taller compared to black spruce during years without or with few growing‐season frosts.…”

“…Consistent with our hypothesis at the intra‐species level, the white spruce seed source closest to the boreal mixedwood forest plantation outperformed extra‐local white spruce seed sources. This suggests that assisted migration may not be a good option in boreal environments, where growing‐season frost intensity is high, probably because seed sources from southern temperate forests exit dormancy too early and are more damaged by frost (Lu & Man, 2011; Marquis et al., 2020). However, at the temperate forest site, both seed sources K24 and J70, growing, respectively, 350 km south and 150 km north, grew equally well and were taller than the K20 seed sources growing 600 km south.…”

“…Accordingly, the growth response of trees to a changing climate is considered a key indicator for anticipating how forest structure and function may be altered by climate change (Payette et al, 1989;Callaghan et al, 2002). However, because of their remote location, tree-ring series and corresponding climatic data are scarce in northern regions, so there are fewer studies on growthclimate relationships in the forest-tundra ecotone compared with the southern boreal forest (i.e., Goldblum and Rigg, 2005;Huang et al, 2010;Girard et al, 2011;D'Orangeville et al, 2016D'Orangeville et al, , 2018Ols et al, 2018;Marchand et al, 2019;Marquis et al, 2020). This is particularly true for northeastern North America, where very few studies have investigated the relationships between tree growth and climatic conditions at such high latitudes (but see Dufour-Tremblay et al, 2012;Nicault et al, 2015).…”
