Tree water status and growth of saplings and mature Norway spruce (Picea abies) at a dry distribution limit

Tree water status and growth of saplings and mature Norway spruce (Picea abies) at a dry distribution limit

We evaluated the size effect on stem water status and growth in Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) occurring at the edge of its natural range in a dry inner Alpine environment (750 m asl, Tyrol, Austria). Intra-annual dynamics of stem water deficit (ΔW), maximum daily shrinkage (MDS) and radial...
