Hydraulic and mechanical dysfunction of Norway spruce sapwood due to extreme summer drought in Scandinavia

2018-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Projected climate change scenarios such as frequently occurring dry summer spells are an enormous threat to the health of boreal conifer forests. We identified visible features indicating wood with tracheids predisposed for hydraulic and mechanical dysfunction in Norway spruce, suggest why this is formed during severe summer drought and hypothesised on mechanism that would cause tracheid collapse and stem cracks.T...
