Abstract
The morphology of Norway spruce is linked to its systematics, genetics, and ecology. The species is highly variable and polymorphic, in large part owing to its widespread natural range that extends from the northern parts of Scandinavia and Siberia to southern Europe (see Chapter 4). This natural phenotypic variation is exhibited in crown form, twigs, cones, and bark and depends on environmental and genetic factors.
