The Impact of Climate Change on Anatomical Characteristics of Silver Fir and European Beech Wood from Three Sites in the Carpathians, Romania

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Structural adaptations of wood to environmental conditions play a crucial role in shaping its mechanical and hydraulic properties, which are vital for the performance and survival of fir and beech. In this study, we investigated how site-specific climatic conditions influence tree-ring widths and wood-anatomical traits of fir and beech in the Carpathians. Increment cores were collected from three forest stands across the Carpathians, each characterized by distinct climate regimes. We developed chronologies for mean tree-ring width (MRW), mean lumen area of vessels/tracheids (MLA), cell density (CD), relative conductive tissue area (RCTA), and, for fir, mean tangential cell wall thickness (CWTTAN), covering the period from 1980 to 2016. By comparing MRW and wood-anatomical traits with climatic variables-daily minimum and maximum temperatures and daily precipitation sums from E-OBS climate data-we identified clear differences among the three sites. The relationships between tree-ring widths and wood-anatomical traits varied between fir and beech, reflecting species-specific responses to local climate conditions. Notably, beech appeared more sensitive to warm summer temperatures, while fir was comparatively less affected. Evaluating the variability in radial growth and wood anatomy is essential for understanding the plasticity of fir and beech under diverse environmental conditions, and represents a first step toward predicting their responses to future climate scenarios.
