Growth response to climate and drought change along an aridity gradient in the southernmost Pinus nigra relict forests
Tree populations at the rear edge of species distribution are sensitive to climate stress and drought. However, growth responses of these tree populations to those stressors may vary along climatic gradients. To analyze growth responses to climate and drought using dendrochronology in rear-edge Pinu...
