Abstract

AI

The research investigates the impact of climatic factors on the radial growth of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in Western Latvia, focusing on the period from January to April. The study employs various statistical methods to analyze tree growth across six districts, highlighting that mean air temperatures during early spring significantly influence growth patterns. It also reveals similarities in growth influence across a broader region, extending to southern Scandinavia, while identifying key years with consistent growth trends among pines in the Baltic States.
