This is not conclusive evidence of an overshoot in leaf development that stressed the trees in drier years but it does give some support to that hypothesis that an imbalance in leaf to stem growth ratios reduces tree vigor, making trees more vulnerable to disturbance.

Simulations also showed there may have been an effect of large interannual variations in precipitation, causing an imbalance between leaf area and stem growth, with negative impacts on tree vigor.

The signal - free concept stems from the observation that individual tree - ring measurement series represent a mixture of potential growth influences, among which are included first, that of climate variability through time and second, that of changing allocation processes and tree geometry that both affect the size of annual stem increments.

Scientists report in the Journal of Sustainable Forestry that there are now known to be 60,065 tree species — a tree is a woody growth with a stem at least 5 cm in diameter at breast height — on every continent except Antarctica.

Looking at the NSC levels of individual trees in September 2012, there were no clear relationships with the 2012 stem growth: while NSC levels increased with growth in M and S trees, they decreased in H trees (data not shown).

At the same time, we observed reductions in sink activities in M and S trees: stem growth decreased, and needle growth, presumably relying on current photoassimilates, also decreased.

Similarly, the correlation between branch NSC levels in May 2012 and stem growth among all trees yielded a mild negative trend (i.e., slightly lower NSC in fast - growing trees), however with low r2 of 0.17.

Moderately stressed and stressed trees showed 34 and 14 % of the stem growth, 71 and 31 % of the sap flux density, and 79 and 66 % of the final needle length of healthy trees in 2012.

To test the relationships between drought, growth and C reserves, we monitored the changes in NSC levels and constructed stem growth chronologies of mature Pinus halepensis Miller trees of three drought stress levels growing in Yatir forest, Israel, at the dry distribution limit of forests.

The significant, large differences between trees in stem growth (Figure 3) were not reflected in branch NSC levels.
