- Abstract:
- Fluctuations in the amount of precipitation during the growing season influence distinctly the widths of annual rings of red pine growing on light soils. This influence is able even to eliminate or at lest to minimize the stimulation of growth normally caused by light or medium thinnings. It is advisable to evaluate the results of thinnings not only in the light of apparent growth changes, but also in the light of precipitation records.
