Our contribution focuses on tree growth responses of Norway spruce (Picea abies, L. Karst.)
to changing environment within the altitudinal gradient of the Czech Republic. The objectives
were to assess i) growth trends within the past five decades and ii) contribution of the key
factors in explaining the observed tree growth variability and trend. We used an extensive
biometrical and dendrochronological measurements within the Czech landscape inventory
CzechTerra based on a 7 x 7 km grid across the whole Czech Republic, Central Europe
(Cienciala et al. 2016) and draw our conclusions also from other companion studies performed
on this material focussing on the recent-historical tree growth analyses (Altman et al. 2017,
Cienciala et al. 2017, Tumajer et al., 2017).
