Fig. 6. Observed and modelled relationship between tree age and ring width.

Fig. 6

Growth patterns vary during tree maturation. The coloured lines denote the observed average ring width for a given age, while the dashed line represents the species-specific model fit. We postulate that the residuals between the modelled and observed values depict the portion of ring width influenced by site-specific factors and local environmental conditions, such as weather conditions and drought periods.
