	Beskids - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Beskids ( Polish : Beskidy, Czech and Slovak : Beskydy) is a traditional name for a series of mountain ranges in the eastern Czech Republic, northwestern Slovakia, southern Poland and in Western Ukraine.
		The eastern border of the Beskids is disputed: according to older sources it is the sources of the Tisza River, according to newer sources the Beskids end at the Ushok pass at the Polish-Ukrainian border.
		The name of the highest mountain depends on the definition of the eastern border of the Beskids.

		However, I was not bitten by the mountain bug at first and it was not until I had been on several more trips that I fell in love with the mountains.

		This reflected an increased susceptibility of trees to meteorological stimuli of the environment, which may be the cause of their weakening and mass dying, mainly in the altitudinal zone of 800—900m.
		The analysis of annual variation of radial increments permits to identify the climatic conditions affecting the growth of trees in diameter, as well as to determine the role played by different meteorological elements in their life cycle, and thus to verify the knowledge concerning their climatic requirements [2, 21].
		During this study an attempt was made to find the causes of increasing mortality of Norway spruce in the Beskid Mountains, suspecting that the increasing frequency of occurrence of anomalous weather conditions during recent years and the expected climatic changes are among them [19].
