The growth of planar and spatial objects is often modelled using one-dimensional size parameters, e.g., volume, area or average width. We take a more detailed approach and model how the boundary of a growing object expands in time.

The Characteristics of Radial Growth and Ecological Response of Caragana korshinskii Kom. Under Different Precipitation Gradient in the Western Loess Plateau, China [PDF]
Understanding the temporal-spatial variability of tree radial growth and ecological response is the basis for assessing forest vulnerability in sight of climate change. We studied stands of the shrub Caragana korshinskii Kom.

Long-Term Effects of Climate and Competition on Radial Growth, Recovery, and Resistance in Mongolian Pines [PDF]
Understanding the response of tree growth and drought vulnerability to climate and competition is critical for managing plantation forests. We analyzed the growth of Mongolian pines in six forests planted by the Three-North Shelter Forest Program with ...

One of the extraordinary features of plants is their growth capacity. Depending on the species and the environment, body forms are manifold and, at the same time, constantly reshaped. An important basis of this plastic variation and life-long accumulation of biomass is radial growth.
