The effects of climate change and other environmental factors on the future growth of European forests is unknown. Researchers have measured the individual effects of environmental factors on forest growth in the Pyrenees Mountains.
Climate change, pollution, invasive species, and forest management techniques in European forests present new growth conditions with no historical references. A change in water, nutrients, carbon dioxide, or light caused by climate change could affect how trees utilise these resources.
