Abstract
This study aimed at investigating the growth patterns of some dominant tree species in a dry dipterocarp forest under climate variability. The study site was located at Sakaerat Environmental Research Station in the Nakhon Ratchasima province, with the growth patterns recorded every 2 months for a year by using the cambial marking technique. The correlation between the increment data and climate data was determined to explain the effect of climate variability on tree growth. The two major species found were Shorea obtusa Wall. Ex Blume and S. siamensis Miq., as indicated by the value of importance value index (IVI), were selected for a total of 30 trees which included dominant, codominant and suppressed crown covers (5 trees/canopy layer/species). The results indicated that the annual growths of S. obtusa and S. siamensis were 3.304±0.67 and 2.210±0.49 mm, respectively, with quiescence in December 2014 until May 2015. There
was active growth during the months between June and November 2015, with an insignificant difference in growth rates among the canopy layers. A study of the relationship between periodic tree growth and climate variability indicated that the total rainfall every 2 months induced growth in S. obtusa in the dominant, codominant and suppressed crown covers with an average growth of 89.6, 93.5, 77.9 and 88.9%, respectively. Climate variability was not significantly related to wood increments of S. siamensis in any of the canopy layers. When compared with the climate variability every 2 months of the previous period (t-1), the extreme minimum temperature was significantly correlated with the wood increments of S. obtusa in dominant, codominant, suppressed covers with an average growth of 74.7, 70.0, 67.2 and 70.5%, respectively. Total rainfall measured every 2 months during the previous period also induced wood increments in S. siamensis in dominant,codominant, suppressed covers with an average growth of 68.0, 69.3, 67.2 and 68.6%, respectively.
