The Past Matters: Previous Management Strategies Modulate Current Growth and Drought Responses of Norway Spruce (Picea abies H. Karst.)

Gerhard Schmied et al.

Summary: Due to high productivity and past management approaches, the forests of Central Europe are dominated by conifers, even in areas where they are not naturally occurring. The vulnerability of Norway spruce to severe droughts and the lack of knowledge about how management strategies affect tree growth and drought responses emphasize the importance of this study. It found that the individual treatment history of a tree significantly influences its growth and drought resilience, with factors such as structural diversity, tree size, and thinning intensity playing a role.

Longer and faster: Intra-annual growth dynamics of Douglas fir outperform Norway spruce and silver fir over wide climatic gradients

Tobias Walter Miller et al.

Summary: Climate change is expected to have significant impacts on European forests. This study compares the intra-annual growth dynamics of Douglas fir, silver fir, and Norway spruce in changing climate conditions. The results show that Douglas fir has higher cell production rates and a longer wood formation season, making it a potential alternative to the climate-change-endangered Norway spruce.

The 2018 hot drought pushed conifer wood formation to the limit of its plasticity: Consequences for woody biomass production and tree ring structure

E. Larysch et al.

Summary: Hot droughts are expected to increase in Europe and affect forest ecosystem functioning. This study focused on the wood formation and anatomical characteristics of mature silver fir and Scots pine trees in the Black Forest during a hot drought year. The differentiation kinetics of tree cells were influenced by temperature and water availability, leading to a decline in woody biomass production. The growth processes of pioneer species and climax species were affected by different drought periods.

Ninety-five years of observed disturbance-based tree mortality modeled with climate-sensitive accelerated failure time models

Janet Maringer et al.

Summary: Modeling disturbance-based tree mortality is crucial in adapting forests to climate change and preserving ecosystem services. Climate, soil, silvicultural measures, and tree characteristics all play significant roles in influencing survival times of different tree species. Climate proved to be the most important factor, affecting survival probabilities differently among tree species, while base saturation also showed a positive relationship to survival time. Additionally, short-term effects of destabilization after thinning were observed.

Xylem Phenology and Growth Response of European Beech, Silver Fir and Scots Pine along an Elevational Gradient during the Extreme Drought Year 2018

Elena Larysch et al.

Summary: The study revealed that European beech and silver fir showed different responses in xylem cell differentiation and growth under the 2018 drought, with beech being significantly affected at the lowest elevation. Overall, there were species-specific differences in the response of xylem phenology and growth to drought.

Effects of Intra-Seasonal Drought on Kinetics of Tracheid Differentiation and Seasonal Growth Dynamics of Norway Spruce along an Elevational Gradient

Dominik Florian Stangler et al.

Summary: The study compares different methods for investigating wood formation dynamics in Norway spruce, showing strong endogenous control of tree-ring formation at higher elevations and a shift to environmental control at lower elevations during drought. Additionally, comparing xylogenesis data with dendrometer measurements reveals interesting insights into the interplay between tracheid development and environmental factors during dry-wet cycles.

Rapid hydraulic collapse as cause of drought-induced mortality in conifers

Matthias Arend et al.

Summary: The study found that Norway spruce adult trees experienced rapid dehydration and hydraulic collapse during the 2018 Central European drought, indicating a higher mortality risk than previously assumed. The nonlinear decline in tree water relations is crucial for predicting tree death outcomes.
