“…The analysis also confirmed a negative relationship of radial increment to summer temperatures. A recent study from the Romanian Carpathians showed that younger pine trees can be more sensitive to summer temperatures and summer heatwaves (Sidor et al 2018). We did not confirm the positive relationship between tree ring widths of Scots pine and mean temperature in February and/or March, which is frequently observed at low and middle elevations in Central Europe (Spurk 1997;Oleksyn et al 1998;Wilczyński & Skrzyszewski 2002).…”

“…Crown transparency and growth can complement The results of our analyses showed a positive reaction of radial increments to summer precipitation. Such a reaction is typical at low and middle elevations in the whole Europe, particularly at dry sites (Spurk 1997;Strumia et al 1997;Wilczyński & Skrzyszewski 2002;Mácová 2008;Sidor et al 2018). The analysis also confirmed a negative relationship of radial increment to summer temperatures.…”

“…Scots pine increment reactions to climatic characteristic are substantially modified by a tree growth stage. The study from the Romanian Carpathians suggested that radial increment of young pine trees (particularly in the western part of the Carpathians) had negative correlations with temperature in summer months, while older trees (above 50 years old) were indifferent, or had even positive correlations (Sidor et al 2018). Several studies jointly confirm that climatic variables are dominant factors affecting tree growth, even in the cases of trees growing on soils with different nutrition conditions (Vitas & Erlickyté 2008;Xenakis et al 2012).…”

The study deals with the analysis of the impact of climate and ground water table level on radial increment and defoliation of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) growing on sandy soils. The research was performed in the area of the Borska nížina (i.e. Borská Lowland, situated in southwest of Slovakia), where a substantial die-back of pine trees has been observed in the last decade. Increment measurements and defoliation assessment were performed at 150 adult trees of Scots pine growing at three permanent monitoring plots within the international network of ICP Forests during the years 1989–2018. We examined the impact of climatic and hydrological factors on selected features of pine using the methods of correlation analysis and linear mixed models. Statistical analyses confirmed that the annual radial increment of Scots pine significantly depended on the mean air temperature from June to August, and mean ground water level in the mentioned months. These two factors also significantly correlated with crown defoliation. The factors explained 26% and 32% of increment and defoliation variability, respectively. From the long-term perspective, our analyses indicated that the decrease of ground water level by 0.5 m in summer resulted in the increase of defoliation by 10%. The obtained results indicate a further increase of Scots pine die-back on easy-to-dry sandy soils in regions with low precipitation totals, particularly considering the ongoing climate change and its inherent factors.

“…Forest ecosystems are affected by various threats, including increasingly prolonged and severe droughts and other abiotic stresses, invasive insect outbreaks, and the rapid spread of pathogens [1]. The impact of climate change on forests is an important issue that concerns a large number of the international scientific community [2][3][4][5].…”

Forest ecosystems are faced with a variety of threats, including increasingly prolonged droughts and other abiotic stresses such as extreme high temperatures, very strong wind, invasive insect outbreaks, and the rapid spread of pathogens. The aim of the study was to define crucial abiotic stressors affecting Central Europe forest ecosystems and, with regard to their possible simultaneous effect, develop a universal method of multi-hazard evaluation. The method was then applied to the particular area of interest represented by part of the Czech Republic with forest land cover (12–19 ° E, 48–51 ° N). Based on National Threat Analysis, the most significant threats of natural origin with a close relationship to forest stability were identified as drought, high temperature, and wind gusts. Using suitable indicators, a level of their risk based on occurrence and consequences was estimated. The resulting combined level of risk, divided into five categories, was then spatially expressed on a grid map. The novelty of our paper lies in: (i) all relevant climatic data were combined and evaluated simultaneously with respect to the different level of risk, (ii) the developed methodological road map enables an application of the method for various conditions, and (iii) multiple hazards were estimated for the case study area.
