The impact of climatic changes on the growth of scots pine stands in raised bog habitats

Abstract

The investigations have been carried out in the Red marsh, small strict reserve of the Dubrava and Kamanos strict nature reserve. In order to assess the influence of climate changes on the growth of pines and their spreading in raised bog habitats the data on repeated forest management regulation, bog cadastre, permanent and temporal experimental plots have been used. It has been determi¬ned that climate warming essentially increases the height and radial increments of pines growing in raised bog habitats as well as induces afforestation in them
