Effect of Temperature on Radial Growth of Beech and Pine Saplings in the First and Second Year of the Experiment: a Comparison

The aim of the study was to monitor the seasonal dynamics of radial growth in one to two-year old saplings of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) under three different temperature regimes: greenhouse (G), cooling chamber (C) and outdoors (K). The research was con...

The results showed that the patterns of the radial growth of beech saplings exposed to different temperature conditions were similar, especially in 2010.
