Growth assessment in tropical trees: large daily diameter fluctuations and their concealment by dendrometer bands

Tree stems contract and expand as stem water is depleted and replaced. Band dendrometer studies suggest that such daily changes are small (<0.2 mm diameter), and they are ignored in most growth measurements. However, several studies using other approaches note larger changes (even >1 cm diameter), s...
