| Description: | Dry and warm climate conditions in southern Europe represent clear limits for European beech (Fagus sylvatica) growth near the species southern distribution limit, but it is unclear how aridification and changes in seasonal precipitation regimes will affect these forests at the individual level. We explored climate-growth relationships and the seasonality of peak climate signals in European beech using daily climate data and a large collection of tree-ring width series from southern and southeastern Europe through Generalised Linear Mixed Models (GLMMs). In most cases we found a positive and significant influence of precipitation on tree growth, and a significant negative effect of maximum temperature. Predictions from the GLMMs revealed a positive impact of precipitation during an 88 day window from spring to early summer (mid-April to mid-July), for an average tree across our network. This critical growing time window ranged from 75 days in warmer and drier conditions, and extended up to 100 days in areas with mild temperatures and moderate summer precipitation. Maximum temperatures negatively affected trees for an average of 27 day window in summer (June-July). This period was reduced to |
