The history of the pine forests in our country has not only a decorative action, but also important consequences on soil stability and air quality n large areas. As all other forest tree species pine is sensitive to climatic changes, of which appearance is more and more claimed all over the world. One of the most harmful effects of this reality may be represented, as direct consequence, by pine trees drying. Nominating the main causes responsible for degradation of pine forests as direct consequence of drying phenomena, and identification of possible implications of temperature increase in concerned area, as consequence of climatic changes. Two years trial was implemented in Mures County, during 2013, in a pine forest. The raw data were processed with STATISTICA v. 7.0 Office. The importance of identification of complex factors affecting the drying in pine forests is reflected by the extension of this phenomenon.
