StarStarStarStar

Atmospheric CO2 Levels

StarStarStarStar

Higher levels can enhance photosynthesis, known as CO2 fertilization effect.

StarStarStarStar

Age and Maturity

StarStarStarStar

Tree growth rates change over life cycle, with faster growth in youth and slower as they mature.

StarStarStarStar

Sunlight Exposure

StarStarStarStar

Amount of light received, driving photosynthesis rates and energy production for growth.

StarStarStarStar

Pollution

StarStarStarStar

Can lead to leaf damage, reduced photosynthesis and impaired growth due to toxic substances.

StarStarStarStar

Competition for Resources

StarStarStarStar

Competition with other plants can lead to reduced availability of sunlight, nutrients, and water.

StarStarStarStar

Tree Genetics

StarStarStarStar

Determines species-specific growth rates, size, form, and adaptability to environmental conditions.

StarStarStarStar

Temperature

StarStarStarStar

Optimal ranges facilitate enzymatic processes and metabolism, while extremes can limit growth.

StarStarStarStar

Altitude

StarStarStarStar

Higher elevations can limit growth due to reduced temperatures, lower oxygen, and increased UV radiation.

StarStarStarStar

Water Availability

StarStarStarStar

Involves the access to adequate moisture, crucial for photosynthesis and nutrient transport.

StarStarStarStar

Wind Exposure

StarStarStarStar

Can cause physical damage, desiccation, and increased transpiration rates, stressing the tree.

StarStarStarStar

Pest and Disease

StarStarStarStar

Infestations and infections can cause defoliation, dieback, and interrupt nutrient transport.

StarStarStarStar

Soil Quality

StarStarStarStar

Refers to fertility and structure, impacting nutrient availability and root development.
