    Notes: Abstract. The cessation of shoot elongation, diameter growth and needle elongation were compared with the initiation of frost hardening of the stems and needles in an 8-year-old provenance trial of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) established in central Finland. The saplings were of six different origins ranging from Estonia to northern Finland, forming a latitudinal gradient of ca. 10°N. The frost hardiness of the stems of current-year shoots was assessed by electrical impedance analysis and that of current-year needles by electrolyte leakage and visual scoring of damage. Artificial freezing tests were used in the assessments. The pattern of growth cessation (shoot and needle elongation, diameter growth) tended to follow the latitude of origin, i.e. growth ceased in the northernmost provenance first and in the southernmost one last. Both stems and needles of the northern provenances hardened earlier than the southern ones, but the differences in hardiness disappeared as hardening progressed. Growth cessation and initial hardening to –15°C were clearly correlated at the provenance level, indicating that growth must cease prior to hardening, and that earlier cessation of growth predicts earlier frost hardening of stems and needles. No differences in frost hardiness of stems were found at the provenance level at the end of the growing period in August. At that time, the frost hardiness of needles of the northernmost provenance was higher than that of other origins. Within the provenance, the stems were less hardy than the needles.

    Notes: The effects of soil temperature on the shoot phenology, carbohydrate dynamics, chlorophyll fluorescence and cold hardiness of 4-year-old Norway spruce seedlings (Picea abies L. Karst.) were studied. The experiment was carried out under controlled conditions in the Joensuu dasotrons. Air conditions were similar but soil temperatures differed by treatments (9, 13, 18 and 21°C) during the second growing period in the dasotrons. The after-effects of the treatments were investigated during the third growing period following the treatments. Low soil temperature increased the starch content of needles and delayed the loss of starch at the end of the growing season. The photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm) of the PSII of the current-year needles was reduced at the lowest soil temperature. The cold hardiness of needles correlated with the soluble sugar content. The differences in soil temperature had no effect on the timing of bud burst. No after-effects from the treatments were observed during the third growing period in the dasotrons.

    Notes: The electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was applied to current-year needles of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in an 8-year provenance field trial in central Finland during frost hardening. The EIS analysis of the needles using a Model-A equivalent circuit indicated a sequence of events in the needles during their cold acclimation. Some of the EIS-parameters referred to maturation phenomena occurring during the pre-hardening phase at the end of the growing season, and some parameters displayed a clear coincidence with the frost hardening itself. Significant differences between provenances were found in several of the Model-A parameters. Extracellular resistance (re) and β-coefficient decreased in all provenances in the pre-hardening phase in August and until mid-September. In the same phase, both the intracellular resistance (ri) and the cell membrane time constant (τm) first increased and then decreased. According to τm, re and β there was a clear gradation between provenances in the pre-hardening phase. From the end of September significant differences were found in the intracellular resistance between provenances, corresponding with the differences in their hardening pattern. The dry weight (DW) content of needles increased during the study period but no clear differences were found between the provenances.

    Notes: Distributed model parameters of shoots of five clones of willow (Salix viminalis) were examined with electrical impedance analysis at the end of the growing season and with cold acclimation. The parameters were compared with regard to frost hardiness, linoleic (18:2) and linolenic (18:3) fatty acids, unsaturation/saturation ratio of fatty acids and dry weight content. The intracellular resistance (ri) correlated best with changes in frost hardiness. The value of ri rose from 1–2 Ω m in non-hardened to about 12 Ω m in hardened samples. In the initial stages of frost hardening, a linear relationship was found between ri and frost hardiness and levels of 18:2 fatty acid, and an inverse relationship between ri and levels of 18:3 fatty acid. The unsaturation/saturation ratio of fatty acids rose fairly rapidly in the initial stage of hardening. The dry weight content increased stepwise during the experimental period, and less steadily than ri. In addition, equivalent circuit parameters changed in the prehardening phase, and were probably connected with cell differentiation and lignification. Frost hardiness by the visual method and by extracellular resistance, determined after controlled freezing tests, correlated well in the initial stages of hardening until about − 10°C but deviated upon further hardening.

    Notes: Abstract In this study the effect of summer fertilization on the initiation of frost hardening of containerized second-year Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seedlings is studied. During the second growing season three different fertilization programs (water soluble NPK with micronutrients) determined by electrical conductivity of peat water extract (0.2, 0.5 and 1.2 mS cm-1) were initiated. The growth and nutrient concentrations of needles were monitored during the fertilization period. The frost hardiness of seedlings was assessed on four separate occasions at two week intervals from August 7 to September 18. This assessment was based on artificial freezing tests and visual damage scoring of tissue browning on current-year needles. Clear differences in foliar N, P and K concentrations were observed between the fertilization treatments. Fertilization prolonged the growing period of needles and increased root collar diameter. In all the tests, the highest fertilization level resulted in the highest level of frost hardiness. The difference between the fertilization treatments ranged from 1 °C to 2.2 °C. Frost hardiness increased with an increase in foliar nitrogen concentration and slightly less consistently with increases in foliar phosphorus and potassium concentrations.

    Development of freezing tolerance in roots and shoots of Scots pine seedlings at nonfreezing temperatures (1998)
    Canadian Science Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 1998-04-01
    Description: The hardening of hydroponically cultured Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seedlings and their recovery after freezing was studied at the end of the second growing season (LD), after 3 weeks of short day treatment (SD), after a gradual decrease in temperature to 5°C over 4 weeks (H1), and after 4 weeks at 5°C (H2). Frost hardiness was determined by several methods and the recovery as survival of the seedlings. The highest frost hardiness was achieved in the distal parts of needles (-21 to -27°C) and in the proximal parts of needles (-18 to -25°C), followed by woody roots (-7 to -9°C), the 1-year-old and current stem (-8°C), and the fine roots (-5°C), all at the end of H2. Hardening of needles was induced by SD, but the stem and woody roots started to harden later, as a response to low temperature. As a result of frost treatment during LD and SD, potential plasma membrane roman H+-ATPase activity of roots decreased as electrolyte leakage increased and extracellular resistance decreased, but this relationship was lost during H1 and H2. The present study demonstrates the lack of hardening capacity in the fine roots of Scots pine seedlings at nonfreezing temperatures and the increased mortality of the young seedlings having frost damage on roots.

    The responses of Scots pine seedlings to waterlogging during the growing season (2016)
    Canadian Science Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-12-01
    Description: In the future management and sustainable use of boreal forests, it is crucial to consider the rate and strength of tree responses to an elevated water table and the concurrent oxygen limitations, especially in peatlands. We examined the response dynamics of 7-year-old Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seedlings to a 5-week waterlogging (WL) treatment during a growing season in a root lab (dasotron) experiment. WL took place after shoot elongation had ended but while growth of the trunk diameter was still in progress. Trunk sap flow and needle water potential started to decrease immediately after the onset of WL, while the first signs in needle gas exchange — seen as decreases in the potential efficiency of photosystem II, the rates of light-saturated net assimilation and transpiration, and increased needle respiration — were observed after 3 weeks of WL. New needles responded to WL more strongly than the old ones. Drainage with consequent re-oxygenation of the soil caused a further decrease in sap flow. We conclude that through negative feedback on transpiration and net photosynthesis, WL during the growing season is harmful for Scots pine, leading to potential growth losses or even dying of trees within a few weeks of WL.

    Quantification of additive response and stationarity of frost hardiness by photoperiod and temperature in Scots pine (2003)
    Canadian Science Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2003-09-01
    Description: To present quantitative knowledge of photoperiod and temperature on frost hardiness for mathematical modelling, we carried out a growth chamber experiment for second-year Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seedlings. There were three treatments involved in the trial: a short photoperiod (7 h light : 17 h dark cycle) with a high temperature (15 °C) (SDHT), a short photoperiod (7 h light : 17 h dark cycle) with a low temperature (2 °C), and a long photo period (16 h light : 8 h dark cycle) with a low temperature (2 °C). The following variables were measured: (i) the frost hardiness of stems, needles, buds, and roots by controlled freezing tests, (ii) the electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) parameters of the stems, (iii) the chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm) of the needles, (iv) the dry mass/fresh mass ratio, and (v) the total soluble sugar and starch concentration of the stems, needles, and roots in the non-frost-exposed organs. There was a clear difference in hardiness among the organs by the end of the experiment. Stems by some EIS parameters, needles by Fv/Fm, and stems, needles, and roots by sugar concentration differed among treatments. A stationary level of frost hardiness was reached or asymptotically approached in all organs and treatments except in the SDHT treatment of buds. Very little support was found for the concept of additive effects by photoperiod and temperature. The results show that the additive model needs revision, since the hardening response is dependent on organ, and there is an interaction in the responses to photoperiod and temperature.

    Dynamics of fine-root production and mortality of Scots pine in waterlogged peat soil during the growing season (2020)
    Canadian Science Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-05-01
    Description: Excess water in the rooting zone critically reduces tree growth and may even kill trees; however, the relative importance of damage to roots versus aboveground parts and the time course of damage are not well understood. We studied the dynamics of fine-root growth and mortality of 7-year-old Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) saplings affected by a 5-week period of waterlogging (WL) during the growing season. Two out of six WL-exposed saplings survived the treatment. After 1–2 weeks of WL, the mortality of the first-order short roots (usually mycorrhizas) started to increase and the production of these roots started to decrease. WL decreased the longevity of short and long roots. Total root length (especially of fine roots with a diameter 〈 0.5 mm), specific fine-root length, total root dry mass (including stump), and reverse-flow root hydraulic conductance were lower in WL saplings than in control saplings at the end of the experiment; however, several root traits were similar in control and surviving WL saplings. Because of the high importance of fine roots for tree growth and carbon sequestration, their responses to elevated water tables should be considered in sustainable use and management of boreal peatland forests, for example, by continuous cover forestry and (or) ditch network maintenance.
