Finds that Norway spruce seedlings from dry regions show greater drought tolerance, implying that provenance affects resilience.
Norway spruce seedlings from dry lowland regions as well as from southern provenance are more drought tolerant than those from German highland provenances. • Early stress detection using biomarkers indicates the later mortality dynamics of seedlings under extreme drought well. • Higher drought tolerance is, however, not linked to higher resistance of adult trees of the same provenance against biotic damages.
