Differences in climate and drought response of the exotic plantation species Abies firma, Cryptomeria japonica, and Chamaecyparis obtusa in southern Korea

Growth Performance Assessment of <i>Chamaecyparis obtusa</i> Stand in Gyeongnam Province, S. Korea

“…Among the tree growth affecting factors, temperature and precipitation are the most readily measurable and in this study the variation in climate condition mainly annual average temperature and annual total precipitation also influenced the growth of the species. It was confirmed that the relationship between C. obtusa growth and change in climate variables was negative [32]. Variation in precipitation affect the above ground net productivity, depending on whether extreme precipitation led to increased or decreased soil water content [33].…”
