Resilience is the central concept for understanding how an ecosystem responds to a strong
perturbation, and is related to other concepts used to analyze system properties in the face …

Earth's atmosphere is warming and the effects of climate change are becoming evident. A
key observation is that both the average levels and the variability of temperature and …

Climate change threatens the role of European forests as a long-term carbon sink. Assisted
migration aims to increase the resilience of forest tree populations to climate change, using …

Drought intensity and frequency are increasing under global warming, with soil water
availability now being a major factor limiting tree growth in circumboreal forests. Still, the …

As boreal forests face significant threats from climate change, understanding evolutionary
trajectories of coniferous species has become fundamental to adapting management and …

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

Drought is a major limitation for survival and growth in plants. With more frequent and severe
drought episodes occurring due to climate change, it is imperative to understand the …

Abstract The NLRs or NBS-LRRs (nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich-repeat) form the largest
resistance gene family in plants, with lineage-specific contingents of TNL, CNL and RNL …

Quantifying intraspecific genetic variation and phenotypic plasticity of traits involved in
drought tolerance is essential to forecast forest tree vulnerability to climate change. Tree ring …

Norway spruce is a boreal forest tree species of significant ecological and economic
importance. Hence there is a strong imperative to dissect the genetics underlying important …
