“…A similar positive role was played by a dry, sunny and warm spring. These relations are confirmed in other dendroclimatic studies of the pine (Richter et al, 1991;Wilczyński and Skrzyszewski, 2003;Wilczyński, 2003;Juknys et al, 2014). The positive impact on the creation of the pine wood cells was also exerted by high rainfall in July of the year when the ring was formed, as they caused the extension of the period of intensive divisions of vascular cambium and the formation of large diameter cells.…”

“…This is confirmed by numerous dendroclimatic studies on Scots pine (Vaganov, 1990;Lührte, 1991;Richter et al, 1991;Lindholm et al, 1996;Wilczyński and Skrzyszewski, 2003;Wilczyński, 2003Wilczyński, , 2013Pensa et al, 2005;Tuovinen, 2005;Juknys et al, 2014;Helama et al, 2013).…”

“…The positive impact on the creation of the pine wood cells was also exerted by high rainfall in July of the year when the ring was formed, as they caused the extension of the period of intensive divisions of vascular cambium and the formation of large diameter cells. Low rainfall in summer is often a factor limiting the incremental growth of Scots pine basically throughout all of its range (Lührte, 1991;Lindholm et al, 1997;Irvine et al, 1998;Cinnirella et al, 2002;Wilczyński and Skrzyszewski, 2003;Pensa et al, 2005;Tuovinen, 2005;Pilcher and Oberhuber, 2007;Piovesan et al, 2008;Gruber et al, 2010;Juknys et al, 2014). Drought is a factor which often induces variability in growth patterns and mortality of Scots pine especially in dry areas (Bigler et al, 2006, Hereş et al, 2012, Herguido et al, 2016, Marqués et al, 2016.…”

Abstract:The main aims of these studies were dendrochronological and mass spectrometric analysis of the impact of climate on tree rings width and stable isotopes composition in pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). The conifers were growing in the vicinity of chemical and nitrogen factories in Kędzierzyn-Koźle (Poland) in the period of time from 1920s to 2012 AD. The combined usage of tree ring width and isotopic composition data provides historic records of the environment changes. These data allows identifying the behavior adaptation of pine growing under pollution stress to climate changes. The incremental rhythm of the studied pine populations was not identical, probably due to their different sensitivities to some climatic factors. This study evidences that the isotopic records in tree-rings α-cellulose may be sensitive bio-indicators of the way that the components of air and water may be changed by the trees in response to the climate changes and anthropogenic effects. The water use efficiency may be strongly correlated with variability of the surface temperature that may be due to increase of CO 2 emission.

“…Scientific literature reviews have shown that, the size of reduction also depends on the distance from the source of pollution, directions prevailing winds and area orography (Krąpiec and Szychowska Krąpiec, 2001;Juknys et al, 2003Juknys et al, , 2014Wilczyński, 2006;Elling et al, 2009;Malik et al, 2012;Rydval and Wilson, 2012;Bošela et al, 2014).…”

This study reports the variation of tree-ring widths and annual variation of concentration of metals (Na, Mg, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb) in pine growing nearby chemical factories. The conifers (Pinus silvestris L.) investigated in this study covered the time span from 1920s to 2010 AD. Tree-ring widths were measured, dated and rechecked using the COFECHA. Radial trace-element profiles were determined by Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry. The combined usage of tree ring width and chemical composition of wood provides historic records of anthropogenic impact on the environment and allows identifying the behavior adaptation of trees to the pollution. Data of pine tree cores collected from the sites nearby chemical factories show increasing levels of pollution linked to the increasing of industrial activities in Poland and subsequent dust fallout around the site. This study evidences that tree rings can be used as archives of past environmental contamination.

“…Conifers are one of the most sensitive forest tree species (Augustaitis et al, 2007a, 2007b, 2010a, 2010b, Augustaitis, 2011, Juknys at al., 2014, Ozolincius and Stakenas, 2001, Ozolincius et al, 2005. Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L) has a large area habitat, which stretches across Europe and Asia.…”

Changing climatic conditions, increased length of growing season, competition, genotype and pollution are the most important factors for tree productivity and health. That is why only by knowing the impact of these factors on trees we can evaluate and change sylvicultural treatments that are important for the health and productivity of forest in Lithuania. The aim of the present study was to detect the significance of the competition index vs. genotype of Scots pine trees on their reactions to changes in meteorology and air pollution. Tree health, dendrometric parameters and stem basal area increment were chosen as response variables to meet the objectives of the presented study. The investigation was carried out at Scots pine genetic stand located in Aukstaitija national park, Vaisniunai district. Data on meteorology and air pollutants were obtained from ICP Integrated Monitoring Station located there. Genetically related individual groups in the stand were established by the neutral part of the genome of short repeated DNA sequence length polymorphism markers. Trees of distinctive short repeated sequences allele frequencies were grouped by Bayesian cluster analysis methods. Four genetically similar tree groups were separated in the monitored stand based on significance of ΔK value. Seven competition indices were used to determine the competition intensity effect on the tree increment and their dendrometric parameters including crown condition. The obtained results revealed that trees which demonstrated the most intensive BAI formation, best crown condition and the most significant reaction to changes in meteorology and air pollution comprised one tree genetic group while trees with adverse characteristics the second. Notwithstanding this competition intensity had the most significant effect on BAI formation.
