At two sites, dead trees mortality processes have been reported during recent decades, displayed lower growth rates over their entire lifetime, while, affecting forest dynamics. They are likely due to increases in on the last site, their juvenile growth rate was higher. Trees summer drought severity and therefore especially affect with crown damage had higher growth rates than healthy trees drought-sensitive species, such as silver fir (Abies alba Mill.). on one site, and their radial growth trends over time always & Aims and methods To understand the relationships between differed from those of dead trees. Mortality and crown damage tree growth, crown condition and mortality probability, radial were little related to altitude, but strongly differed between growth trends
