Climate, competition and site conditions are the main drivers controlling annual secondary
growth in tree species. These factors do no act independently on tree growth, but by means …

Under changing climate, temporal and spatial stability (stationarity) of growth responses of
trees to weather and climate, which has often been presumed without explicit testing, is …

Data for Pinus radiata D. Don grown in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) are used to
show that annual indices of growth potential can be successfully incorporated into …
