Concerns for the possible consequences of climate change and their impact on the Mediterranean underline the need for a better understanding of climate variability throughout history, especially beyond the period covered with instrumental measurements. In order to improve the spatial and temporal...

Dendroclimatological research was conducted in even-aged beech stands in the belt of climatozonal beech forests in the Pannonian part of Croatia (Fagetum croaticum pannonicum Horv. 1938). The aim was to compare dendrochronological data from the forests with climatic data (annual air temperature and ...

The aim of this research is to determine the following: the fundamental ecological niche or potential distribution range of silver fir in Croatia on the basis of selected climatic factors, differences between parts of fir distribution range with reference to the selected climatic factors and...

We have analyzed wood from three archaeological sites in Croatia. The samples of wood were in various conditions (charcoal, wet wood, and waterlogged wood). This paper presents the preparation of archaeological wood for identification and dendrochronological analysis and the results of wood...

With the application of dendrochronological methods of analysing diameter increments, the authors of this paper have found that the studied sites of pedunculate oak are highly endangered. Their research points to the need for establishing better continuity in the monitoring of ecological factors,...

Dendroclimatological research was carried out in even-aged beech (Fagus sylvatica) stands in the Pannonian part of Croatia. Changes in increment during 1885-1984 were analysed in relation to temperature and precipitation during the growing season and annual totals.

The research was carried out in two middle-aged mixed stands of narrow-leaved ash (Fraxinus angustifolia) and white ash (F. americana) aged 54 and 50 years in the area of the forest offices of Nova and Stara Gradiška, Croatia. The recordings of stand structures in the locality of the forest office...

Some 132 forest trees sampled from Medvednica, Croatia, were used to determine the average width of growth rings during 1999. Results were compared to the average annual width of growth rings during the preceding 10 years (1989-1998) and showed that weather conditions in 1999 insignificantly affect ...

The occurrence of double sapwood (moon rings) in heartwood of Quercus robur was studied in relation to height in the stem, height and diameter increment and stand disturbance at Topolovac and Boljkovo, Croatia.

The lowland forests of the Pokupsko Basin, Croatia, cover 13 579 ha, of which 82.8% are state forests and 15% are privately owned. The main species are Quercus robur, Fraxinus angustifolia and Alnus glutinosa. This monograph includes 2 review and 8 research papers which analyse historical and...
