TLDR
The results of long-term investigations of Scots pine growth and condition in the impact zone of one of the biggest air pollution sources in Lithuania--mineral fertilizers plant "Achema" are presented, indicating that the recovery of tree increment was mostly caused by distinct reduction of emissions of nitrogen and sulphur oxides and dust of mineral fertilizers.About:

Is drought the main decline factor at the rear edge of Europe? The case of southern Iberian pine plantations
Raúl Sánchez-Salguero,Raúl Sánchez-Salguero,Rafael M. Navarro-Cerrillo,Thomas W. Swetnam,Miguel A. Zavala,Miguel A. Zavala +5 more
TL;DR: The sharp growth reduction and widespread defoliation in declining pine plantations make their future persistence in xeric sites subject to frequent and severe droughts unlikely under expected warmer and drier conditions in the future.

Long-term dynamics of heavy metals in the upper horizons of soils in the region of a copper smelter impacts during the period of reduced emission
TL;DR: In this article, the 23-year-long dynamics of actual acidity (pHwater) and acid-soluble heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Cd, Zn) in the forest litter and humus horizon of soils in spruce-fir forests were studied in the area subjected to the longterm (since 1940) pollution with atmospheric emissions from the Middle Ural Copper Smelter (Revda, Sverdlovsk oblast).

Long-term dynamic of forest vegetation after reduction of copper smelter emissions
TL;DR: In this article, the state of tree and ground vegetation layers in spruce-fir forests around the Middle Ural Copper Smelter (Revda, Sverdlovsk oblast) has been repeatedly evaluated in 25 permanent sampling plots at 5- to 10-year intervals (1989-2013).

Scots pine (pinus sylvestris L.) growth suppression and adverse effects on human health due to air pollution in the upper Silesian Industrial District (USID), southern Poland
Ireneusz Malik,Małgorzata Danek,Ewa Marchwińska-Wyrwał,Tomasz Danek,Małgorzata Wistuba,Marek Krąpiec +5 more
TL;DR: Air pollution emissions were not continually monitored in the Upper Silesian Industrial District (USID), southern Poland, and data is only available for the last 20 years, but long-lasting and severe tree ring reductions in pines growing 5–20 km north of the USID area indicate that the phenomenon is of a regional nature.

The Influence of Industry on Scots Pine Stands in the South-eastern Part of the Silesia-Krakow Upland (Poland) on the Basis of Dendrochronological Analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, Dendrochronological analysis in five separated transects, which were performed in this region, showed the abrupt and usually long term reductions observed in radial increments of sampled pines.

TL;DR: In order to contribute to a better understanding of the impact of air pollution and other environmental factors on forest ecosystems, a Pan-European Programme for Intensive and Continuous Monitoring of Forest Ecosystems has been implemented in 1994 as discussed by the authors.
