Table 2 Trees studied and summary of the results. Ind Tree identifier. Data sampling reports on the different samplings for each tree. Growth synchrony refers to the different behaviors noted at different scales (“Individual” and/or “Branch”) for each tree by different methods (“survey” and/or “retrospective analysis”): for the different scales (“Branch” or “Individual”), see Fig. 5 (a–e) and Fig. 10 (A–C). The third column in growth synchrony presents individuals for which we checked and confirmed growth synchrony (S) between longitudinal growth (I) and radial growth (II)
