Annual trajectories of the average amount of competition to which each tree is subject (solid line) and the coefficient variation (CV %) of competition to which each tree is subject (dashed line) at each study plot. Competition was quantified using a distance-weighted absolute size index (eqn 4), with a variable search radius defined as 3·5 times each tree's crown width.
