| AGR (cm year-1) | 16.7 (11.4) | 0.0–55.5 |
| RGR (cm cm-1 year-1) | 0.15 (0.08) | 0.0–0.37 |
| Quercus petraea | ||
| Initial tree height (cm) | 101.0 (25.2) | 38.0–178.0 |
| AGB (g) | 53.0 (48.3) | 0.1–323.8 |
| AGR (cm year-1) | 17.2 (12.3) | 0.0–59.0 |
| RGR (cm cm-1 year-1) | 0.13 (0.08) | 0.0–0.36 |
| Pseudotsuga menziesii | ||
| Initial tree height (cm) | 118.6 (25.9) | 62.0–202.0 |
| AGB (g) | 150.3 (107.7) | 16.2–683.2 |
| AGR (cm year-1) | 28.6 (13.7) | 0.0–87.0 |
| RGR (cm cm-1 year-1) | 0.19 (0.07) | 0.0–0.37 |
Absolute (AGR) and relative growth rate (RGR) of tree height refer to a 2-year census interval; AGB, aboveground biomass at the end of the census interval.
