The Radial Growth of <i>Picea wilsonii</i> Was More Restricted by Precipitation Due to Climate Warming on Mt. Guandi, China

Transitional climate zones (TCZ) are characterized by instability due to rapid changes in climate and biological variables, and trees growing there are particularly sensitive to climate change. Therefore, knowledge about the shifted relationships of tree growth in response to climate warming will sh...
