Abstract	A network of 41 local tree-ring chronologies of oak (Quercus petraea and Quercus robur) in Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia (latitudes 45.00–48.00N, longitudes 13.14–21.63E, altitudes 80–800 m a.s.l.) was constructed and used to establish common climatic signals in oak tree rings in the region. Co-variation of residual chronologies could be resumed in 11 significant principal components (PC), explaining 79 % of common variability. Three of them, PC1, PC2 and PC3, made it possible to identify similarities among the sites. PC1, significantly correlated with all 41 chronologies, indicated a common positive response to precipitation in spring and summer (March and June) and a negative response to temperature in spring and summer (April and June). PC2, significantly correlated with 12 chronologies, indicated a common positive response to precipitation especially in spring (May) and a negative one to high summer temperatures (especially in August) with a pronounced north to south gradient. PC3, significantly correlated with ten chronologies, indicated that a warm previous December and warm current September have a positive effect on tree growth, especially in the south-western part of the study area. The obtained climate–growth relationships will help to understand better the variability of oak growth, to fill palaeoclimatic gaps and to improve dendrochronological research in the region.
