Modifying the elastomechanics of the stem and the crown needle mass distribution to affect the diameter increment distribution: A field experiment on 20-year old Abies grandis trees

In the spring of 2000, field experiments were begun on three 20-year old grand fir (Abies grandis) to influence the elasto-mechanical behavior of the stem, as well as the distribution of the assimilate crown production. The aim was to analyze, and then describe and model the expected resulting chang...
