Climate-growth relationship: significant correlation/res- ponse function coefficients (P < 0.05) for residual chronologies (Sites 4 and 5), related to mean monthly temperature and precipitation from October of the previous year’s growth (p) to September of the year of growth. Statistics were calculated for the same period (1918–2004) for all chronologies.
