| Abstract: | AimsIn contrast to temperate regions, the reasons for growth reductions of individual tree species along elevational gradients in tropical mountain ranges are poorly known, especially for tropical conifers. We aimed at testing whether climatic or edaphic conditions are responsible for the reduced growth ofPinus kesiya, a widely distributed pine species of southern and south-eastern Asia, at higher elevations. |
