Effect of rapidly changing meteorological parameters on over-matured Scots pine tree growth in Aukštaitija National Park

Increasing trends in forest growth have been reported in Central Europe recently. A lot of environmental variables have been hypothesized to increase the net primary productivity, however mostly weather variation has a major response to these changes. Therefore, in present study we hypothise, that the increase in pine tree radial increment in Auk taitija national parks is related to warming dormant and more humid vegetation periods. Obtained data revealed that rapidly increasing trend in basal area increment by 67 mm2 per year (p
