Abstract: The consequences of climate change on forest growth can be exacerbated for the forest ecosystems of anthropogenic origin, especially for the populations at the margins of the species range. The productivity-environment relationships are a methodological approach for modeling growth at whole-stand level, which although empirical is applicable under changing climatic conditions. Some peculiarities of the Scots pine plantations in Bulgaria, and namely a distribution range spreading outside the species areal and high stocking rates, made it challenging to derive an adequate productivity-environment model for this type of stands, which was the main objective of our study.
