Current and projected changes in climate are estimated to be from 10 to 100 times faster than the natural adaptive capacity of trees whose generation times are long. As extreme climatic events are becoming more frequent and exert a strong selection pressure on tree populations, there is an urgent need to better characterize the genetic variability involved in the response of trees to climate. There is currently a lack of knowledge on the role of genetic variability in tolerance to climatic...
Rapidly warming climate affects water availability for boreal conifer species, thus urging the need for assessing their adaptive capacity to better predict forest vulnerability and resilience under drier climates. In this study, we first used a dendroecological approach to determine the level of climate sensitivity of white spruce (Picea glauca [Moench] Voss) trees grown in a provenance-family common garden. We detected a clear signal of local genetic adaptation to drought, with provenance...

Blue Intensity (BI) is a cost-effective analytical method for measuring relative wood density in the rings of conifer tree species. Since early concept papers in the 1990s/2000s, there has been a recent explosion in the application of this method for both dendroclimatology and historical dating as well as other dendro-disciplines. The beauty of BI is that the analytical costs, mainly related to the cost of a h...
