Concepts of continentality-oceanity and humidity especially in the light of the natural distribution of Quercus robur

Climatological factors determining the natural northern boundary in Europe of oak ( L.) were investigated. The natural northern boundary of oak corresponds in detail to the curve at which the growing season, beginning at +5°C in spring and ending at +10°C in autumn, is of a certain cons...
