A clear climatic signal of precipitation and temperature in growth of Scots pine young trees in habitats homogenous in relief, soil and access to light.
Article in Botanical studies, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe purpose of our study was to arrange the monthly temperature and precipitation in order of importance for the growth of Scots pine young trees. Model 25-year-old 405 individuals were selected in 27 forested former agricultural lands. Annual tree height increment in 2009-2013, a period with contrasting amounts of summer precipitation, was measured.
resultsIn all the trial plots, we found statistically significant synchronous dynamics between annual growth and monthly precipitation of the previous October and current March. Precipitation in August (significant correlation was in 96.3% of habitats), May (92.6%), July (81.5%), previous November (77.7%), and current June (74.1%) was also important for the increments. The temperature of April and September had a critical importance for plants in all habitats. Previous November and December (the correlation was significant at 81.5% of samples), March (77.8%) were also very important. Temperatures of all other months had a more site-specific effect on the growth of trees or did not affect it.
conclusionsThe results obtained made it possible to quantify monthly climate signals in the Pinus sylvestris growth and may be useful in predicting the impact of climate change on the species.
