Abstract

The article studies water regime parameters of annotinous needles (water content in needles, level of real water deficit, water release rate of isolated needles) in 27 Siberian spruces (Picea obovata (Ledeb.), European spruce (P. abies (L.) Karst.) and their interspecific hybrids in the collection of geographical cultures within the Arkhangelsk region (62°54′N, 40°24′E). A low variability of parameters of water exchange in spruce needles of different species and initial growing sites was revealed. In the tested collection of spruce climatypes, species differences unrelated to the location of source populations are more evident. It is concluded that the ecological adaptation of Siberian spruce species is lower than that of European spruce and introgressive hybrids with its participation. In the less ecologically adaptive species of Siberian spruce P. obovata (Ledeb.), a slightly increased level of real water deficit and an increase in the rate of needle water retention in the origins against the background of a levelled water content in the needles were revealed. Introgressive hybridisation of Siberian spruce and European spruce resulted in a change of positions related to water regime in their hybrid forms fixed hereditarily. It is shown that the adaptive ability of spruce populations differing in geographical origin and the peculiarity of the water regime of its needles may be related to the evolution of the species and the history of postglacial dispersal on the territory of the East European Plain and the growth of two species in the zone of introgressive hybridisation — P. abies (L.) Karst. and P. obovata (Ledeb.) and their hybrid forms.
