Abstract

Seedlings of five Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] populations originating from different altitudes in the massif of Snieznik Klodzki in the Sudety Mountains (Poland) were grown in the greenhouse. Height, root length, and weight of root, shoot, needles and bud, as well as biomass allocation were studied. A good correlation of seedling traits and the altitude of mother stands was found. This indicates a rather good ecological adaptation of these, probably introduced populations. Some ecological and silvicultural aspects of the results are discussed.
