What is A multi-trait assessment of selected provenances of Scots pine following 50 years of growth on a provenance experiment in Central Poland, in the light of climate change about?

Abstract The unpredictable nature of climate change impacts, e.g. warming producing a latitudinal shift in photoperiod, may modify trees’ rates of survival and capacities for growth. This is also true of the Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), as one of Europe’s main forest-forming tree species. The best results in the study of tree responses to climate change can be obtained during long-term experiments carried out on provenance trials. Such objects make it possible to precisely determine the growth and adaptation reactions of offspring coming from different soil and climatic conditions to the conditions of the research area. Research of this kind has been conducted by analysing growth in the progeny of 16 different Polish provenances of Scots pine on a single provenance experiment located in the centre of Poland, in an area where annual precipitation is at the rather low average level of 580 mm. The experiment was established in 1966, using a randomised block design with five replicates for each of the tested provenances. In autumn 2015, trees present were monitored and analysis of variance was used for their heights and diameters at breast height, with estimates also made regardin
