Effects of frozen soil on growth and longevity of fine roots of Norway spruce

•We studied fine roots of boreal Norway spruce in changing frozen soil regimes.•More frozen soil→minor effects on growth but longevity increased.•Delayed soil thawing→harmful for growth but no effect on longevity.•Longevity increased with root branching order and soil depth. Frozen soil is predicted...
