Large areas of Norway spruce stands in Europe are being affected by drought and heat waves, and our research has found that drought can induce physiological changes in spruce seedlings. The sensitivity to drought varies among seedlings from different provenances, suggesting the importance of considering provenance in reforestation strategies for drought risk areas.
Currently, large areas of Picea abies (Norway spruce) stands in Europe are increasingly affected by drought and heat waves. Moreover, early spring drought has occurred with much higher frequency. Our work focuses on physiological changes induced by drought in four-year-old spruce seedlings during shoot elongation. We investigated drought effect on photosynthetic rate, concentration of abscisic acid and its metabolites, amount and composition of monoterpenes in needles of seedlings from five different provenances (altitude range 550-1280 m above sea level) in Western Carpathians. Spruce seedlings subjected to one-month drought stress of moderate intensity (about 50% of soil water content at the end of experiment) showed significant reduction of CO2 uptake and increased concentration of ABA related to untreated controls. Induced drought affected needle monoterpene content and composition. Observed changes in drought-induced physiological parameters were influenced by seedling provenance. The provenance from 920 m above sea level showed the greatest sensitivity to drought with significantly highest ABA content and, at the same time, a clear decline of CO2 uptake and amounts of total monoterpenes. Our results indicating intra-specific provenance-related variability in physiological response of spruce seedlings to drought may provide a basis for improved reforestation strategies in drought risk areas.
