Arboriculture & Urban Forestry 45(1): January 2019 trees/ha/yr, and white cedar, which was frequently planted along fence lines, represented 43% of all new trees planted. Diameter growth rates slowed with 17 increases to tree size; the condition of measured trees also consistently worsened with greater tree size (Table 2). However, the lower diameter growth rate Table 3. Bivariate analysis of the exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity indicators with tree mortality, condition, and growth rate, showing test statistic values and significance levels.
