Paludification reduces black spruce growth rate but does not alter tree water use efficiency in Canadian boreal forested peatlands

Abstract Background Black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP)-forested peatlands are widespread ecosystems in boreal North America in which peat accumulation, known as the paludification process, has been shown to induce forest growth decline. The continuously evolving environmental conditions (e.g.,...
