growth rate [10] Limits for soil pH, annual precipitation and low temperature Tolerance: (D)rought (F)ire, (L)iming and (S)hade Landscapes, bark and cones with foliage Abies amabilis (Pacific silver fir) Can reach 230 ft (70 m) in height. The timber is lightweight, with low resin content.
A leaf area index (LAI) expresses the leaf area per unit ground or trunk surface area of a plant and is commonly used as an indicator of the growth rate of a plant. LAI is a complex variable that relates not only to the size of the canopy, but also to its density, and the angle at which leaves are oriented in relation to one another and to ...

Tree rings are records of the influence of environmental conditions, their anatomical characteristics record growth rate changes produced by these changing conditions. The microscopic structure of conifer wood consists of two types of cells : parenchyma , which have an oval or polyhedral shape with approximately identical dimensions in three ...
The American Conifer Society was founded in 1983 [1] ... The Society has designated four categories of conifer sizes, based on growth rates: Growth Type Yearly Growth
For some of these species, age estimates have been made on the basis of extrapolating current growth rates, but the results are usually largely speculation. White (1998) [105] proposes a method of estimating the age of large and veteran trees in the United Kingdom through the correlation of a tree's age with its diameter and growth character.
Loss could have grave consequences for California wildlife, including protected species such as spotted owls and Pacific fishers.
The Pinaceae (/ p ɪ ˈ n eɪ s iː ˌ iː,-s i ˌ aɪ /), or pine family, are conifer trees or shrubs, including many of the well-known conifers of commercial importance such as cedars, firs, hemlocks, piñons, larches, pines and spruces. The family is included in the order Pinales, formerly known as Coniferales.
