Increasing moisture limitation of Norway spruce in Central Europe revealed by forward modelling of tree growth in tree-ring network
Original language description
To evaluate the response of trees to warming, we collected samples from a randomized landscape inventory grid of 7 ×7 km to account for spatial gradients in climate/growth interactions in the entire forested part of the Czech Republic. Relative proportions of moisture and temperature limited parts of total tree-ring width were determined as well as trends in limiting conditions over the period 1940–2012 and along the elevation gradient. The effect of drought stress was outweighed by earlier spring onset of growth, resulting in positive trends in total tree-ring width above 500 m. About 26% of tree-ring growth has occurred under optimal climatic conditions at elevations above 800 m, where, moreover, 45% of total annual growth was temperature limited. Except for one mediumelevation belt, the proportion of growth under moisture-limited conditions significantly increased during the period analysed. Recent warming and increasing frequency of drought events deepened the divergence in growth trends between low-elevation areas and stands at medium and high elevations.
