Decision Revise: Adaptive effects of geographic origin on tree ring width and radial growth -climate relationships in Pinus nigra Arnold, the European black pine. Round#1

Key Points

• The aim is to explore how geographic origin affects tree ring width and radial growth under different climate conditions.
• Analyzed tree ring samples from different geographic locations of Pinus nigra.
• Measured tree ring width and radial growth in relation to climate data.
• Conducted statistical comparisons of growth patterns based on origin and climate variables.
• Significant differences in tree ring width were observed based on geographic origin.
• Radial growth showed varying responsiveness to climate factors depending on geographic location.
• Findings suggest regional adaptation in tree growth patterns influenced by local climate.
