Description
Seasonal variation in environmental constraints (vapor pressure deficit – VPD, air temperature, and soil moisture) on tree growth for the potential distribution range of seven widespread Central European tree species. We simulated environmental constraints on growth fusing 3-PG model or the species’ potential distribution range within the forested area of Switzerland on a 1×1 km grid for seven dominant tree species: Larix decidua, Picea abies, Abies alba, Fagus sylvatica, Acer pseudoplatanus, Pinus sylvestris, and Quercus robur. For this purpose, we simulated the growth of these tree species in monocultures with the average climate observed during 1961–1990 or 1991-2018. The stands were initialized as 2-year-old plantations with an initial density of 2,500 trees ha-1 and simulated until the age of 30 years. For each simulated month, we obtained the relative contribution of environmental constraints (VPD, temperature, and soil water) on tree growth.
