Impact of climatological drought on the leaves yellowing phenophase selected tree species

Year, pages: 2018, 220 - 226

This work evaluates drought impacts on initiation and ending of specific phenophases in autochtonous forest woody plants in Slovak republic. The research ran on an assembly of forest woody plants long-term monitored in the locality Borová hora near Zvolen. The study period encompassed years 2007–2017. There were evaluated rainfall amounts in months June – August. The drought was identified based on climatological indicators such as: Thornthwait drought index (TDI), climatic water balance (CWB) and tropical days period (TDP). There is evident a considerable variability among the years. Hydrological extremes were the most conspicuous in years 2014 and 2015, with drought manifested trough premature leaves yellowing and trough altered trends in initiation and ending phenophases in the woody plants studied.
