(SB trees grew faster in diameter) 1. I agree with others that the strip bark phenomenon is likely caused by root death, and the root death is likely caused by physical injury by rocky substrate. (cf. wave regeneration in fir) 2. Root death will cause cambial death above it.

Ring development and most cambial activity therefore is a result of daytime conditions or at least weighted towards the day and so it would seem logical that the trees would respond more strongly to daytime conditions.

To build RCS chronologies from the whole data set containing different sites and species, we analyzed the growth levels and trends of the individual ring width series after aligning them by cambial age and classifying them into two groups, one with age trends having a weakly "linear" form and one with age trends that are clearly "nonlinear" see Web fig.
