Drought is a major constraint of forest productivity and tree growth across diverse habitat
types. In this study, we investigated the drought responses of four conifer species growing
within two locations of differing elevation and climatic conditions in northern Mexico. Two
species were selected at a mesic site (Cupressus lusitanica Mill., Abies durangensis
Martínez) and the other two species were sampled at a xeric site (Pinus engelmannii Carr.,
Pinus cembroides Zucc.). Using a dendrochronological approach, we correlated the radial …
