Abstract:IntroductionIn recent years, Norway spruce (Picea abies L.) forests in Central Europe have faced escalating threats from bark beetles, primarily Ips typographus (L.), and other species, such as I. duplicatus (Sahlberg). Outbreaks are partially attributed to weakened tree defense resulting from drought periods induced by climate change. This study examines Norway spruce’s physiological and metabolic reactions to acute drought stress during the growing season and evaluates its susceptibility to I. typographus an… Show more
