Author response of: Adaptive effects of geographic origin on tree ring width and radial growth -climate relationships in Pinus nigra Arnold, the European black pine. Round#2

Key Points

• The aim is to explore how geographic origin influences tree ring width and the relationship between radial growth and climate in Pinus nigra.
• Analysis of tree ring data from various geographic origins of Pinus nigra
• Comparative study of radial growth patterns under different climate conditions
• Statistical modeling of growth-climate relationships
• Geographic origin significantly affects tree ring width and radial growth
• Distinct growth responses to climate factors observed in different origins
• Potential implications for forest management and species adaptation to climate change
