Age, competition, disturbance and elevation effects on tree and stand growth response of primary Picea abies forest to climate
Original language description
Stands and trees may exhibit different climate-growth responses compared to neighbouring forests and individuals. The study of these differences is crucial to understanding the effects of climate change on the growth and vulnerability of forests and trees. In this research we analyse the growth responsiveness of primary Norway spruce forests to climate as a function of different stand (elevation, aspect, slope, crowding, historic disturbance regime) and tree (age, tree-to-tree competition) features in the Romanian Carpathians. Climate-growth relationships were analysed using Pearson correlation coefficients between ring-width indices (RWIs) and climate variables. The influence of stand and tree characteristics on the RWI responses to climate were investigated using linear mixed-effects models. Elevation greatly modulated the climate-growth associations and it frequently interacted with competition intensity or tree age to differentially influence growth responsiveness to climate. Old t
