Abstract

The density of wood is closely related to its mechanical properties such as hardness, strength and elasticity of wood. To estimate some of these properties, one only needs to analyse the growth rings and related density data of wood. The density and growth rings have a close connection with climatic data. Based on climate change scenarios, it could be possible to prepare estimates for wood properties during the climate change period. For forestry climate simulation, the Forestry Aridity Index (FAI) was developed which can be specially applied to Hungary for estimating changes in wood species habitats under climate change scenarios. Several methods use statistical procedures to model past climatic data using the genetic properties of the tree species and annual ring data. It is also possible to simulate annual growth development based on climate data, but we do not know which wood properties will be affected by climate change in Hungary. Furthermore, research is being conducted to find the answer to this question.
