The aim of the study was to evaluate the sensitivity of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) from the Rudnik Forest District on the selected meteorological elements and to develop a chronology of local tree-ring width and the annual sensitivity. Based on the analysis, the site chronology of silver fir was ...

Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) growing in 16 sites in three industrial regions in Poland was analysed to delineate dendroclimatologically uniform areas. A dendrochronological and mass spectrometric analysis revealed the following: a dry and sunny previous September, low winter temperature, and...

The aim of this study was to investigate differences in radial increment reaction of Norway spruces from the Beskidy Zachodnie Mountains (S Poland). Spruce stands were located at different altitudes and slope aspect. Two altitudinal zones were distinguished by a separating altitude of 900 m a.s.l....

Trees can be used as archives of changes in the environment. In this paper, we present the results of the analysis of the impact of water stress and increase in air temperature on BAI and carbon stable isotopic composition and water use efficiency of pine. Dendrochronological methods together with...

The aim of the study was to assess the sensitivity of European larch trees of 20 Polish provenances to thermal and pluvial conditions prevailing at three provenance trials located in Wielkopolska Lowland (Siemianice, 170 m a.s.l.), Kielecka Upland (Bliżyn, 305 m a.s.l.) and Beskid Sądecki Mountains ...

The study analysed short-term rhythm of radial increments of spruces from different elevations and their climate drivers. Two Norway spruce stands were chosen at the lower and upper montane forest belt in Roztoka Valley (DR) (1000-1050 m asl, 49°13′N, 20°04′E) and in Hala Gąsienicowa (HG)...

The study analysed the causes of the annual variation of tree-ring widths of silver fir and white fir. The partial populations of both fir species has been growing for over 100 years in Rzepin (western Poland) in a fresh broadleaved forest site. We assumed that the year-to-year changes of the size...

The main aim of this study was to analyze the variability of width as well as content of stable oxygen and carbon isotopes, and radiocarbon in Pinus sylvestris L. tree rings. Analysed Scots pine stand grew on the fresh mixed coniferous forest habitat type on site located in the vicinity of the...

The main aims of these studies were dendrochronological and mass spectrometric analysis of the impact of climate on tree rings width and stable isotopes composition in pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). The conifers were growing in the vicinity of chemical and nitrogen factories in Kędzierzyn-Koźle...

Dendroclimatic analysis was used to estimate the effects of air temperature and precipitation on the size of annual growth rings of elderberry (S. nigra). Two bushes, each ∼35 years old and found growing on brown alluvial soil in Fraxino-Alnetum community in Świętokrzyski National Park in Poland,...
