Avtorji članka so sestavili 14 lokalnih kronologij širin branik bukve (Fagus sylvatica L.) z različnih rastišč v Sloveniji (nadmorske višine 300-1415 m). Podajajo osnovno statistiko za različne verzije kronologij (kronologije širin branik, ARSTAN standard, ARSTAN residual), vpliv klime na variabilnost širin branik in variabilnost med rastišči. Dendroklimatološke analize so pokazale, da imajo poletne (posebno junijske) temperature negativen, padavine pa pozitiven vpliv na širine branik na 11 raziskanih rastiščih iz osrednje, JV in JZ Slovenije. Širine branik bukev z zgornje gozdne meje v Julijskih Alpah nad Tolminom (nadmorska višina 1200-1450 m) kažejo pozitiven odziv na temperature v času vegetacijske dobe. Analiza osnovnih komponent je pokazala, da razlike med rastišči lahko pripišemo trem komponentam: (PC_1) odzivu na junijsko klimo, (PC_2) nadmorski višini in (PC_3) fitogeografski regiji.

Abstract

Fourteen local tree-ring chronologies of beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) from different sites in Slovenia, elevations 300-1,415 m a.s.l., were constructed. Basic statistics of the chronologies (raw, standard and residual), climatic influence on tree growth, and growth variability among the sites are presented in the article. Dendroclimatological analysis showed that summer (particularly June) temperatures have negative and precipitation positive effect on tree-ring widths of beech on eleven sites in central, SE and SW Slovenia. The beech from highly elevated site in the Julian Alps above Tolmin (elevation 1200-1,450 m) showed positive response to summer temperatures. The whole variability in studied beech chronologies can be resumed in three sources of variation (principal components - PC): (PC_1) response of trees to June climate, (PC_2) altitude, and (PC_3) biogeographical differences.
