Abstract

Climate influence (precipitation and temperature) on primary growth (annual growth length) and secondary growth (ring width and ring surface) of Quercus ilex ssp. ballota L. (evergreen and diffuse-porous species) and Q. faginea Lam. (decidious and ring-porous species) is studied. Samples were taken from a coppice in Sierra de Santa Cruz, Cubel, Zaragoza. Both species show lesser longitudinal and radial growth in drought years. A positive and significant relationship between precipitation and secondary growth and a negative and significant relationship between high summer temperatures and secondary growth were observed. Primary and secondary growth in 1993 and previous years mirror foliage desiccation of Q. ilex in 1993.
