The tree-ring response to climate change is one of the most interesting problems in modern forest ecology. Despite the large number of papers on tree-ring response to environmental change (temperature increase, irrigation, drought, etc.) there is no reliable answer to how woody plants will respond to such change in different forest stands and biogeographic zones. The process-based tree-ring model developed by Vaganov & Shashkin ( VS-model) can be a key to answering this question.Two new principal approaches are described:
