Increasing frequencies of heat waves and drought are expected to shift the range and growth of balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.), a widely distributed cold-adapted boreal species. However, our ability to predict this species response to these climate anomalies remains limited, especially when considering how trees can exhibit delayed and persi...

Increasing frequencies of severe heat waves and drought are expected to influence the composition and functioning of ecosystems globally. Our ability to predict and mitigate these impacts depends on our understanding of species- and age-specific responses to these stressors. To assess the adaptive capacity of balsam fir to climate change, a cold-ad...
