Among climate elements, including temperature and precipitation changes, impacts plant growth, survival, and distribution. This study analyzed the effects of these changes on the growth rings, vessels, rays, and fiber of Ostrya japonica in Wando and Jeju Island. The results showed that growth rings were wider in Jeju Island than in Wando. Vessels predominantly featured clustered over solitary vessels, with slightly more clustered vessels in Wando. Multiseriate rays were more observed in Jeju Island, while uniseriate rays were more prevalent in Wando. Ray length was longer in Wando, and fiber length showed no significant difference between the two regions but correlated similarly with increasing temperature. These findings elucidate how the wood growth of O. japonica responds to climate elements, contributing to understanding its adaptation mechanisms. This study is expected to aid future conservation and management strategies for O. japonica in response to climate elements.
