The Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) is one of the most used non-native tree species in European forestry. It is increasingly being used for the afforestation of agricultural land. Douglas-fir stands on both former agricultural land and permanent forest soils have shown significant long-term effects of historical land use on climate-growth relationships. On the site established on former agricultural land, tree growth showed a strong correlation with climatic variables in the current year of ring formation. In contrast, on forest soil, growth was more strongly influenced by climate conditions from the previous year. In terms of sensitivity to extreme climatic events (pointer years), notable differences were observed only in the initial development stage on agricultural soils; these differences diminished as the soil environment gradually transformed.

Keywords: climate signal, dendrochronology, Douglas fir, tree ring analysis
