The increasing occurrence of dry and hot summers generates chronic water deficits that negatively affect tree radial growth. This phenomenon has been widely studied in natural stands native species but not commercial plantations exotic species. In central Chile, where the is increasingly planted, dynamics stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) growth under drought have little explored. We impact on four growing Chile. sampled cross-dated a total 112 trees from sites, measured their tree-ring width (RWL) series, obtained detrended series ring indices (RWIs). Then, we calculated three resilience during years (Rt, resistance; Rc, recovery; Rs, resilience), correlations between RWI seasonal climate variables. found lowest rate (1.94 mm) driest site (Peñuelas).
