Allometry and Effects of Extreme Elevation on Growth Velocity of the Andean Tree Polylepis Tarapacana Philippi (Rosaceae)

Increasing elevation can restrict the expansion of tree species by negatively affecting growth. In this study, we estimated growth velocity and evaluated the effects of extreme elevation on radial growth of the Andean tree Polylepis tarapacana Philippi (Rosaceae). We also developed different models...
