The measured land is situated in Transcarpathia, in Ungvár, alongside the right (Függetlenség) and left (Pravoslav) side of the river Ung. The avenue is very old on the Pravoslav side of the river Ung, the average age is 70 years. The alley on the Függetlenség side is old as well, the average age...

The paper explains the interpretation of commonly used dendrochronological statistical values using tree ring width data obtained from 116 sample trees from 11 Q. petreae growth parcels. There were no detectable differences in the sensitivity of the parcels, the preceding 2-years played significant ...

The study determined how much primeval woodland would have been found on the present territory of Hungary during the conquest of Magyars in the 9th century. The subject of study was approached in two ways. First, climate changes and human activities in the Carpathian basin were determined from the...

The oak decline caused considerable loss of increment in Quercus petraea stands, even if they were not destroyed by the decline. The loss of increment - derived from the differences of the tree ring widths measured on healthy and damaged trees - showed an increasing tendency between 1981 and 1994,...

Discs were cut at b.h., and then at 4-m intervals, from a 32-yr-old stem 16.9 m high and free of branches up to 14.0 m. The combined effects of precipitation and temp. accounted for only 18.5% of the variation in annual diam. increment. Factors believed to have a major influence on c.a.i. were soil ...

Ring width series were determined for Quercus cerris and hornbeam 85-120 yr old (at stump ht.) in Hungary and for Scots pine, Larix sibirica and Betula platyphylla [B. mandshurica] 105-208 yr old in Mongolia. Data are tabulated for the ring widths in years corresponding to the maxima and minima of...

Q. cerris sawn wood is very susceptible to ring shake during seasoning. Anatomical studies on Hungarian stems of different ages and origins showed that the shake always developed in the earlywood at the boundary between the series of wide annual rings and series of narrow annual rings which are...

The seasonal course of radial increment was recorded with band dendrometers on the 10 dominant trees in 17 pure stands of 12 different species in Gödöllő Arboretum, Hungary, during 1974-83. Growth curves were characterized by initial and final phases of slower growth and a middle phase of intensive ...

Reports a study of disks cut from a dominant tree 32 m high in a 94-year-old Fagus sylvatica stand in Hungary, at heights of 1, 3, 5, 11, 15 and 21 m. Only ca. 22% of the total variation in annual ring width was correlated with data for precipitation and temperature, but thinning operations, mast...
