Growth-climate relationships were analyzed for 15 stands of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) along a productivity gradient in northeastern British Columbia. Productivity was evaluated with a site index model whose values varied between 6.65aand 26.93am height at age 50 years. To assess the role of climate on radial growth, we built a tree-ring chronology for each site and then performed a dendroclimatic analysis by means of bootstrapped correlation functions using monthly and annual climatic variables. We found that trembling aspen sensitivity to climate varied across stands with different productivities in the study area. At the more productive sites, trees were more sensitive to climate, and ring widths were positively correlated, particularly with summer month precipitation prior to the year of growth. The different responses to climate along the productivity gradient are likely related to the differences in substrate properties; substrates at the more productive sites are richer in nutrients and have a better water holding capacity than those of the less productive sites. Our study suggests that the effects of future climate change on tree growth may not only increase towards the limit of a species distribution, but also towards richer and wetter stands.
