Intra-annual dynamics of stem circumference variation and water status of four coniferous tree species (Pinus sylvestris, Picea abies, Larix decidua and Abies alba) under warmer and water-limited conditions

Original language description

In the paper, the intra-annual growth patterns and tree water balance of four different tree species (Pinus sylvestris, Picea abies, Larix decidua and Abies alba) were examined. Seasonal radial increment, tree water deficit (Delta W) and maximum daily shrinkage (MDS) were derived from the records obtained using high-resolution digital band dendrometers. The study area was located in Arboretum Borov & aacute; hora (350 m a. s. l., Zvolen valley, Central Slovakia) characterised by a warmer climate (Picea abies) and warmer and drier climate (Abies alba, Larix decidua, Pinus sylvestris) compared to the sites of tree origins. Monitored species exhibited remarkably distinct growth and water balance patterns over the 2015 growing season characterised with the highly above normal temperature and uneven precipitation distribution. A. alba exhibited smooth continuous growth least affected by varying environmental conditions. Of all analysed species, only A. alba showed significant positive correlations of radial growth and Delta W with temperature and global radiation, despite environmental water limitations. The lowest cumulative growth, lower negative values of Delta W and greater MDS of L. decidua indicate a higher water limitation of this species. The results showed more pronounced sensitivity of P. sylvestris to increased temperature and drought. All monitored variables of environmental conditions, except precipitation, significantly influenced MDS values of all studied tree species. Based on 30 variables describing radial stem growth patterns and water status we identified large inter-species variability and discrete species-specific groups, while the indicators of growth and water status of L. decidua and P. sylvestris were similar and the most different patterns were observed between A. alba and L. decidua. The behaviour of P. abies was closer to A. alba than to the other two species.
