Growth response of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) on climate factors along the Carpathian massive

Original language description

We focused on beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and fir (Abies alba Mill.), which are likely to be the two most important tree species for a large part of Europe&apos;s mid- and high-altitude forests in the future (Dobrowolska et al., 2017). In study at the Balkan Peninsula along the Dinaric high karst, where different and well-expressed ecological factors intertwine at relatively short geographical distance (approx. 1000 km) (Bohn et al., 2000), response of beech and fir from the southern, warmer and dryer sites already served successfully as a most probable future prediction for the same species response on currently less-extreme sites northward (Čater and Levanič, 2019). Carpathians as more complex site comprise sufficient latitudinal and longitudinal gradient connected with significant differences in temperature/precipitation as well as differences in their seasonal pattern (Micu et al., 2016). The quality and future of fir-beech forests is in tight connection with our understanding of tree-response to environmental parameters. Dendrochronological analysis of stand growth provides a historical retrospective of the response to climatic factors in different time series of mature trees (González et al., 2003). In predicting the consequences of climate change on tree species, studying the response of species on a geographic gradient may highlight the crucial parameters important for tree growth on a larger scale, help to predict future response and optimize future forest management. In the presented study, we were interested if there is a similar response between tree species along the Carpathian arc. The aim was to determine the influence of climate on the growth of beech and fir along the geographical gradient (a), to find similarities or differences between the two species (b) and to compare response in time for eventual change in the growth response (c).
