Abstract
Stand growth (tree height and wood volume) has increased in most European forests during the last 40 years. This was also confirmed on the investigated Level II plots. Individual tree growth is correlated with defoliation at all site productivity levels. Both, growth and defoliation, are valuable indicators of forest condition. Besides nitrogen deposition, also increasing temperature and carbond dioxide (CO2) concentrations can have an effect on tree growth. This issue will be further investigated.
