Field trials with Norway spruce seedlings from 84 full-sib families from a factorial cross in Opsahl Seed Orchard and 11 provenances were planted at eight sites between altitudes between 600 and 900 m in Oppland County in Norway. Measurements of tree heights and assessments of stem and branch defects were made at regular intervals until 34 years from seed. Data from measurements made in nursery trials and from artificial freezing trials were also available. The families from the seed orchard had on average 12 % better height growth than the provenances. For volume growth per hectare, measured in two of the trials 30 years after planting, the families had a superiority of more than 30 %. A large variation among families was present for height growth and additive genetic variation was the main genetic factor. For the maternal half-sib families, the ranking of families for height was stable after 15 years from seed, and the five best families selected for height at that age were at age 34 years 6 % taller and produced 13 % more volume per hectare compared with the mean of all families. Weak relationships were present between traits measured in the nursery trial, the freezing test and the field trials. Assessments were made of cone production at age 20 years after planting and showed variation among families for the frequency of trees with cones.

Artificial freezing tests were performed on seedlings from Norway spruce families at the end of the first growing season. Similar tests were made on twigs collected from trees in a progeny test at the end of growing season nine. The 26 families in the early test were included in the short-term progeny test with 100 full-sib families from a 10 x 10 factorial cross. All families were also planted in seven field trials in Norway, Sweden and Finland, from which data on mortality, tree heights and stem damage at age 10 years are available. Significant difference was found among families for freezing test injuries on whole intact seedlings at the end of the first growing season and for lethal temperature of needles on detached twigs collected at the end of growing season nine. However, no relationships were found between the freezing test scores of families in the two types of tests or few between these scores and the traits measured in the short-term and field trials. The results show that frost hardiness testing of families at a young age, grown under artificial temperature and light conditions in nursery, is a weak predictor of their performance under natural conditions in field at older ages.

Skogtilstanden i høyereliggende arealer i Nord-Østerdalen som ble overutnyttet i ved gruvedrift frem til ca. 1900 viser fortsatt stort innslag av fjellbjørk og glisne furuskoger med et stående volum varierende rundt 3-6 m3 per dekar. Den dårlige gjenveksten av furu i området kan trolig delvis forklares ut fra endret lokalklima etter rovhogstene, mangel på frø, vedvarende hardt beitetrykk og lokal forurensning fra smeltehyttene. I områder som ble klassifisert som skogreisingsarealer (70.000 daa) er det utført ulike kulturtiltak som viser at disse arealene har et langt større produksjonspotensiale. En tidobling av stående volum vil være mulig med aktiv kultursatsing og treslagsskifte om formålet er størst mulig produksjon og karbonbinding. Vrifuru kan være et bra alternativ på mange lokaliteter. Vektlegges restaurering av den tidligere furuskogen vil det naturlige treslagsvalget være stedegen furu. Per i dag er det begrenset tilgang på frø og plantemateriale fra høydelag 7, men mulighetene for naturlig foryngelse bør klarlegges. De siste tiårene med gunstigere temperatur har trolig medført økt andel modent frø i høyereliggende furuskog. Langtidsvirkninger av kølbrenning på bonitet og næringstilgang er tema i en masteroppgave knyttet til prosjektet og vil utgjøre endelig rapportering når oppgaven foreligger i 2024.

Forest tree breeding must undergo significant revisions to adapt to the evolving challenges posed by climate change. Addressing the shifts in environmental conditions requires a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach that includes theoretical work and practical application. Specifically, there is a need to focus on developing new breeding strategies that are theoretically sound and practically feasible, considering the economic constraints of actual tree breeding programs. We present a novel concept utilizing genetic evaluation of multiple traits in forest stands of successive ages across wide ecological ranges. Incorporating genomics allows for detailed genetic evaluation, making use of high-density SNP markers and sophisticated algorithms like GBLUP for genetic parameter estimates. High-throughput phenotyping is conducted using drone-borne lidar technology to capture tree height and survival data across various forest stands. Assisted migration is considered to strategically position genotypes across predicted environmental climatic gradients, thereby accommodating the dynamic nature of ecological shifts. Mathematical optimization acts as an essential component for logistics, guiding the spatial allocation and timely substitution of genotypes to ensure a continually adaptive breeding program. The concept replaces distinct breeding cycles with continuous evaluation and selection, enhancing the rate of genetic response over time.
