Growth patterns from different forest generations of Scots pine in Estonia

摘要: There is strong evidence that climate change alters tree growth in boreal forests. In Estonia, the analysis of ring measurements has been a common method to study changes. this study, annual height data from dominant or co-dominant Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) trees were used develop model for three forest generations. Stem was applied and measured as distance between whorls, detected by branch knots whorls on split stem surface. Retrospective produced comparative trends different age groups. Statistical analyses estimate impact factors growth. Annual considered best indicator detecting possible potential trees. Study results indicate generations (separated time periods 30–40 years) showed significant differences patterns caused shifts climatic management regimes (anthropogenic natural disturbances).
