Annual aboveground carbon uptake enhancements from assisted gene flow in boreal black spruce forests are not long-lasting

The long-term effectiveness of assisted gene flow of trees could be jeopardised by rapid climate change. Here the authors analyse a large dataset of relocated black spruce populations in Canada, finding that local adaptation to climate of origin improved NPP responses, but only for up to ~15 years a...
