The effect of size and competition
on tree growth rate in old - growth coniferous forests.
However, the scientists also reviewed previous scattered studies and have revealed that the impact
on tree growth rates is approximately equivalent across the tropics, on average nearly halving the rate of growth.

Trees growing
on normally wetter sites and those from drought - tolerant species — including the wood and furniture industry staples, loblolly pine and white oak — are better able to recover their pre-drought
growth rates after a drought ends.
To conduct the study, Clark and Berdanier analyzed data dating back to 1993
on the annual
growth rates of 28,879 individual
trees from 35 species growing at the Duke University Forest in North Carolina's Piedmont, and at the Coweeta Long Term Ecological Research site in the state's western mountains.
Accounting for standard
growth / mortality
rates, the team analyzed
tree size - related variation responses based
on diameter
growth and death under drought and normal conditions; and the percentage of drought - related death.
This elementary principle is used to develop a simple, yet powerful, analytical theory of
tree growth that is used to make predictions
on branching structure and the
rate and size - distribution of discarded branches.
-- The second, being the observed change of some
trees» CO2 - enhanced
growth storing more carbon in their standing wood, is of very limited potential and is not rising at anywhere near the
rate of the countervailing increase since 1980 of the impacts
on forests of droughts, heat waves and surface ozone concentrations in terms of
growth - suppression and of pests, ailments, dieback and rising frequency, duration and intensity of wildfires.
I still find it amazing that you DC seemingly believe the
growth rate of
trees relative to CO2 has no bearing
on tree ring widths.
Tree growth rates are highly variable depending
on management, species and location.
I have seen very slow
growth rates in larch from northern Siberia, but as you can see in the Salzer et al figure 4a the
growth rates of the high elevation
trees are ~ 0.4 mm
on average compared to ~ 0.2 mm for the lower, precip limited site.
Competition showed strong effects
on all three demographic
rates, whereas regional climate change was equally important in affecting
tree mortality, but its effects
on tree growth and recruitment were limited.
That could induce the apparently u-shaped age /
growth curve across populations and subpopulations, even if every single
tree has its own unique,
on - average linear
growth rate.
The
growth rate change in response to a climate change is immediate, while any change in the quantity of dead material rotting
on the forest floor needed to reestablish a balance, depending
on the
tree species, could take tens or even hundreds of years to achieve.
In fact, if we continue
on our current path of high heat - trapping emissions, the region is projected to see forest fires during June and July at two to three times its current
rate.2, 6 Some 1 billion metric tons of organic matter and older -
growth trees could burn7, 15 — accelerating the release of stored carbon and creating a dangerous global warming amplification or feedback loop.5, 14
The problem is that whatever temperature signal they carry is of questionable resolution, and is commingled with whatever myriad of other factors that influence coral
growth rates, or the relative populations of differing microfauna, or Isotope ratios in dissolved gases trapped in ice, or the
growth rate of
trees... None of these issues would lead any rational person to view the application of these proxies in determining climatological fluctuations
on the order of fractions of a degree celsius annually.
Beyond vacancy
rates,
growth will depend
on addressing crowded schools, balancing infrastructure investment across the entire county, business improvement along Columbia Pike and Lee Highway and ensuring that the natural beauty of our neighborhoods (
trees and green space) isn't destroyed by irresponsible development.
