Presented are the results of investigations on the dependence between the tree-ring wieth in stone pine (Pinus cembra L.) mountain pine (Pinus montana Mill.), sycamore maple (Acer pseudo-platanus L.) and Carpathian birch (Betula carpatica W.K.) from the Tatra Mts, upon mean monthly air temperatures and totals of monthly precipitations in the period from about 1910 to the present. In spite of certain differences, favourable effect of high temperatures of air in summer months, particulary in June and July, of the current growing season and also of the growing season in the previous year, on the width of tree-rings was observed. High totals of atmospheric precipitations in summer of the current year and of the previous growing season affected unfavourably the formation of tree-rings.
