摘要
•Climate and management effects on growth were studied in 143 locations with stone pine in Chile.•Three macrozones for the species were determined showing significant growth differences.•Irrigation increased height and DBH growth and pruning height growth under hydric deficit.•Growth was higher in Chile than in its native habitat (height up to 0.35 m year−1; DBH up to 1.5 cm year−1).•Heat tolerance has been identified as a key breeding trait for this species under climate change.
