Table 1. Optimized parameters for the age-width relationship.

pn, ps,w50, and pm describe the shape of the transition of the age-width relation curve. wmin denotes the assumed minimum ring width (see Section 2.2.1). N corresponds to the number of distinct ages (years) in the modelling of the age width relationship. Width was modelled on one assembled age timeline for each species. The low r2 value for Acer pseudoplatanus can be explained by the low number of seven sampled trees.
