Northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.) has higher tolerance to dry periods and to lower soil nutrient content.

Results proved significant level (α = 0.05) of better height growth of northern red oak as well as higher resistance to dry periods (lower mortality). Lang’s Rain Factor proved to be a good indicator of difficult climatic condition during growing seasons and therefore could be used for realistic evaluation of possible success or failure of artificial regeneration.
