摘要：The occurrence of extreme weather conditions may create risks for beech.
Following 2003, which stands out from other years as being a particularly hot year
with low precipitation, the response patterns of beech were investigated at forest
monitoring plots in northwest Germany.
In 2004, the growth of beech merchantable wood and branch biomass
declined by 50 %. After 2003, the development of apical shoots was restricted for a
number of years. The decrease in height and diameter growth may lead to a reduction
in timber yield. In the event of a series of successive extreme hot dry years, the
production of the renewable beech wood resource may decrease even further with
severe ecological and economic consequences.
