"Radial growth" refers to the process of growing outward from a central point or a central axis. It typically involves the expansion or thickening of a circular or spherical object. Full definition
Other Bristlecone Pine studies (Fritts, 1969; LaMarche, 1973; LaMarche and Stockton, 1974) have suggested that growth, especially radial growth of the stem, depends on reserves of stored food produced during earlier periods. (climateaudit.org)
Contrary to previous findings, temperature explained more variability in radial growth after 1950. (deepclimate.org)
It attempts to characterize radial growth increment potential at a given site as a function of tree age. (climateaudit.org)
