Abstract:Norway spruce (Picea abies) is a tree species with low resistance to wind storms and breakage from snow. In this study, we analyzed the microenvironmental impact on the survival rate (Sr), growth, and stability traits of 25-year-old narrow (pendula)- and normal-crowned (pyramidalis) spruce varieties in the Măneciu half-sib trial. The replication factor had a highly significant influence (p < 0.001) on the growth and stability traits and a significant influence (p < 0.05) on the Sr, which confirms the mic… Show more
