Summary: | The aims of this paper were the analysis of climate elements and
Thornthwaite?s climate index, the study of the development of diameter and
current diameter increment of the Austrian pine trees from several artificial
stands in the Belgrade area, as well as an analysis of the influences of the
pluviometric regime and climate index on the current diameter increment of
the Austrian pine over the period 1985-2010. By comparative analysis and
statistical data procession, the correlation between the diameter increment
and climate characteristics was determined. In spite of the wide-held view
that the Austrian pine is a species that cannot make use of the capacity of
the best sites where it grows, is to a great extent able to react to
increased humidity, one of the most important site factors upon which the
growth of basic quantitative tree parameters directly depends. |
