Growth at the microscale: long term thinning effects on patterns and timing of intra-annual stem increment in radiata pine
Abstract Background Stem radial growth in forests is not uniform. Rather, it is characterized by periods of relatively fast or slow growth, or sometimes no growth at all. These fluctuations are generally a function of varying environmental conditions (e.g. water availability) and, importantly, will...
