Relationships between the growth duration, the maximum growth rate (μ) and the maximum radial increment (A) of C. kanehirae. The A of dominant trees is correlated with μ (r² = 0.73, p < 0.01) and the growth duration (r² = 0.91, p < 0.01), while that in codominant trees is only correlated with μ (r² = 0.79, p < 0.01) but not with the duration (r² = 0.14, p = 0.36). Circle: dominant trees (n = 10); triangle: codominant trees (n = 8)
