Randomized trial examines drought resilience in lodgepole pine across different provenances, suggesting significance for future forest adaptability.

The study investigates how the provenance of lodgepole pine affects its growth and resilience to drought under climate change.
Evaluated long-term provenance trial data in north-central Colorado.
Analyzed thirty years of tree-ring and climate data for growth-climate relationships.
Compared drought resistance and resilience among provenances based on climatic conditions.
Provenance did not significantly impact tree size and survival rates.
We observed that provenances from wetter climates had larger average basal area increments.
Populations from warmer and wetter climates displayed significantly greater resistance and resilience to drought.

Warnick et al. (2026) studied this question.
