Abstract
Tree stem is a major part of the carbon sink in forest ecosystems because of its large storage and long-term preservation. It may also have large potential as a factor in global carbon dynamics. Therefore, analysis of stem growth has drawn increasing attention, in which the study of radial growth responses in trees is an important subject to be understood in the effects of global warming on carbon storage in forests.
