Extreme growth conditions and relatively short vegetation period might contribute to reduced vitality of adult trees, disturbed natural regeneration and their water retention capacity. Our recent studies show significant correlation between tree-ring width (TRW) and temperatures in June and July and also correlation between TRW and temperatures in May for the period of last 30 years. Shift into early stages of vegetation period represents a serious threat because of possible damages caused by late frosts.

COBISS.SI-ID: 2182054We studied tree-ring formation in sessile oak in year 2007 and connection between early-, latewood width and tree-ring width and climate. Results show that earlywood width is more or less independent of the latewood and tree-ring width. Majority of climate information is stored in latewood width or tree-ring width. study of intraannual wood formation showed that first row of vessels is formed at the beginning of April and that ring is fully formed by the end of August / beginning of September.
