Temperature responses were determined based on five complementary vitality indicators – crown transparency, needle chlorosis, needle length, shoot length, and leader deformation – across three age classes.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/3Vitality responses of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) to temperature variations along an urban-rural gradient
