Dendrochronologic investigations in yew trees from the gene reserve Stiwoll
Abstract
The yew gene reserve „Stiwoll“ exhibits a high population density making it a reserve of greater importance for Europe. The establishment of a permanent monitoring system combined with three different management trials tarted in 2005 by the research group “Klumpp – Vacik” in cooperation with the “Styrian Forest Authority”. Unfortunately the upper tree layer was destroyed by storm in 2008 and roughly 15% of the yew trees were affected by wind fall. The actual project aims in a first analysis of the tree rings in yew regarding a representative number of trees from one and the same stand. Moreover, the growth of yew as response to climate change will be analysed.
