Radial stem growth of Pinus cembra from the forest limit (1950 m a.s.l.), the tree limit (2110 m a.s.l.) and the krummholz-limit (2180 m a.s.l.) on Mt. Patscherkofel during the period 1955–2004. Annual increments were measured on increment cores (2 radii per tree) taken at 1.3 and 1 m stem height (forest and tree limit, respectively) and on stem discs cut directly above soil surface at the krummholz-limit (stem height < 50 cm) (Selva and Oberhuber, unpublished).
