Growth patterns of forest stands - the response towards pollutants and climatic impact

doi:10.3832/ifor0472-002

Dendroecological analysis of tree and stand growth patterns is discussed as an appropriate tool to quantify response of a forest stand to changing environmental factors, and evidence is provided that the response of trees to current environmental influences can be traced by high resolution measurements of diameter increment.
